Man City striker Aguero out for 'at least 1 month'

Manchester: Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says in-form striker Sergio Aguero is likely to be out for "at least one month" with a right calf injury.

The Argentina international, who has scored 19 goals in 20 games for City this season, was hurt at the start of the second half in the 6-3 win over Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

City play seven games over the next month, starting with Tuesday's League Cup quarter-final match against Leicester and including four Premier League fixtures in a 12-day span over Christmas and New Year.

Fourth-place City are three points behind Arsenal.
