Manchester City receive huge injury boost ahead of Arsenal clash

Manchester City have received a major boost ahead of their clash with Arsenal this weekend.

Pep Guardiola has been without Sergio Aguero since June but the Argentine has now recovered in time to feature against Arsenal on Saturday evening.

After suffering a significant knee injury during the extended season of last, Aguero travelled to Barcelona to receive treatment from Dr. Ramón Cugat, the expert who revived his hopes of featuring in the 2018 World Cup.

And Dr. Cugat appears to have worked his magic again with TYC Sports reporting Aguero confirmed his recovery and his availability for the Arsenal game in the launch of his new E-Sports team this week.

Guardiola will, no doubt, be delighted to get his star striker back after what has been a disastrous start to the campaign by City's standards.

The Citizens have picked up just four points from their first three games and face a real test this weekend against an Arsenal side who have impressed this far, accumulating nine points from four outings.

Aguero scored 16 times in 24 games last season, also assisting four, and those are goals Guardiola and City likely can't live without if they plan on mounting a title challenge.

In contrast, the Argentine's return will be a blow to Arsenal who are hoping to show what they are made of in a test of whether they could put together a run at the title against a stuttering City side.
