Manchester City are expecting to have star striker Sergio Aguero back in action in time for Monday's crucial Premier League fixture with Arsenal.

The Argentina international returned to first team training on Tuesday, after missing four games with a heel injury.

City boss Manuel Pellegrini said after Saturday's win over Swansea City that Aguero was likely to be back in action for the trip to the Emirates Stadium and his presence at training further enhanced his chances of getting up for the clash with the Gunners.

Pellegrini said: "Sergio is improving and we hope he will start working with the squad on Tuesday or Wednesday. We play on Monday against Arsenal so we hope he will be fit for that game."
