You watch - the day Aguero is back, Kompany or Silva will do their calf or hamstring again.
Did we have such bad luck with injuries during the title winning season?

It could be sooner than a month for all we know

no...
according to physio room:
Number of injuries(after totting up all the ones they've listed)
2008/09: 49.
2009/10: 64.
2010/11: 41.
2011/12: 37.
2012/13: 70.
2013/14: 25*.
So whatever we were doing right in those 2 trophy winning seasons we need to get back urgently.
Marvin said:Probably just went without warning. The extended highlights on the City website show when it happened, and it all looks very innocuousEccles Blue said:Marvin said:I noticed that Aguero picked up the injury directly after the restart - perhaps he was not warmed up.
We had noticed that he was limping a little not long after he scored the first goal. Maybe the stretching out for that goal started it off?
I think it's good news that he's already back on a bike, and he's young so he should heal quickly. And he'll get the best of attention.
Looking at the fixture list, the games where we'll miss him are Liverpool and Newcastle away. Like others have said, if we can win those games, then maybe this will work in our favour as we can get other players up to speed, and he gets a rest.
Few people mentioning Jovetic, but it's a big ask to expect him to come in and play at his best straight off. It will take at least a month, and even without Aguero he'll still struggle for games with Negredo and Dzeko
Will be interesting to see what the manager does. On paper Aguero and anyone of Negredo, Dzeko or Jovetic works, but can two of the other three play together? Not sure. I'd prefer to play an extra man in midfield and use Negredo or Dzeko as a lone striker with Jovetic on the left as I think he has played there for Fiorentina.

I think the manager would want to pair up jovetic with a striker. Can't think he would play jovetic upfront on his own as it's not his natural position unless we are defending a lead in the last ten mins perhaps . The thing I don't quite like is we haven't figured out the best setup yet with jovetic as he hadn't had enough time to play with the other strikers yet in meaningful matches.

The set up you allude to has been up and running from day dot
We play a 'style' of footbal now where by the players slot into the system, not a system that caters for individual needs
Jovetic will play perfectly off a big striker just like kun, with the bonus of having possibly a greater eye for a pass than kun, his shortcoming is his lack of goals!!!
