Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has revealed that he is not expecting Sergio Aguero to return from a hamstring injury for at least a month.
The striker sustained the injury while on international duty with Argentina earlier this month, just a few days after scoring five goals in City's 6-1 win over Newcastle United.
Ahead of his side's match against Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend, the manager told reporters: "Aguero has a muscle injury, it's an important injury so I don't think he will be back before one month."
Pellegrini also confirmed that Aleksandar Kolarov and David Silva will miss the match after picking up injuries over the international break, while Gael Clichy and Fabian Delph are still out.
