Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero will reportedly be unable to feature for the English champions in their Premier League clash against Everton this Saturday.

The Argentina international has been sidelined for some time with a knee injury, which he suffered during a training session.

While no official word has yet been made, it is understood that the club have given permission to the 24-year-old to seek treatment in Buenos Aires this week, according to the Manchester Evening News.

City will try to close down a 12-point gap between themselves and Manchester United when they travel to Goodison Park.
