Aguero still sidelined for Champions League trip to Anfield

Sergio Aguero will miss the first leg of Manchester City's Champions League quarter-final tie with Liverpool as he continues to recover from a knee injury.

City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed the club's all-time leading scorer did not travel with the rest of the squad to Merseyside ahead of Wednesday's game at Anfield.

Aguero has not featured since the 1-0 home win over Chelsea on March 4, sitting out away games against Stoke City and Everton, as well as Argentina's recent friendlies with Italy and Spain.

"He's in Manchester, he didn't come. He's still not fit," the Spaniard told the media.

"We'll see [about the derby]. He's much, much better, but he spoke with the doctors and he was still a little bit uncomfortable."
