Aguero participated in a light session with the club physio and plans to return to first-team training in the coming days. [@ManCity]

Fantastic news

We'll have too much for them, and if they sit back, Leroy and Raz will tear them a new one. If they go all out, our midfield will pick them off and they could easily be 4-0 down by HT. My bet is they will park the bus on the edge of their box, and anyone who tries to get through will get a kicking. No doubt the ref will let an awful lot go early doors, claiming he's letting the game flow. Yet the moment we step out of line we'll get punished.

This, so will be a tough and frustrating afternoon. Really not looking forward to, yet another, disgraceful display of refereeing non skills.

On the injuries front, this video suggests Delph is fine and Aguero is recovering quicker than most probably expected but very likely that he won't be ready for Stoke.

I hate it when we score at bad times. It really pisses me off ;)

1st minute ( many still Gavin a piss), 85th onward , many gone home.

Not you of course

Could you imagine the number of digs to the ribs he'd get from Stoke players, if he plays in this game.

Set pieces, 50/50's, pretty much any excuse to run into him they'd take, just not worth rushing him back.

My only concern would be; Jesus looks set to play 2 games over this international period with tonights game being in Palmeiras (he won't want to miss that) and the 1st one at a ridiculous altitude, factor in the travel as well, so i'd be tempted to rest him against Stoke.

Which means a 'false 9', Sterling, Merlin, Diaz or Bernardo as the contenders.

Don't think there is any chance he will play, or Tuesday. Looks like very gentle jogging just now. Maybe back in full training early next week.

If a dig in the ribs is going to hurt him then surely he wont be playing.

Does anyone know - what is the best option for a hamstring injury ? - Delph.
Is it just rest or are there any exercises that can hekp./
