Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero feels he can make their crucial clash at Arsenal.

Aguero is struggling with a foot injury.

"During the match against Chelsea, I injured my ankle and it was sprayed with a topical anaesthetic that caused a burn on the upper part of my right foot," said Aguero, on his official website.

"The injury worsened after a few days and when boils appeared I was told I wouldn't play against Stoke and then against Sunderland.

"You can imagine how I felt, being out of playing condition when my team is trying to take the championship. It's always worse from the bench.

"After that I started receiving incredible rumours about how it all happened.

"I know my life is very public and I'm willing to take criticism even if I disagree with it. but I will not sit quietly while lies are being spread - even more so if they cast doubt upon my professionalism.

"This is a simple injury and not a plot of intrigue."
