Sergio Aguero will miss Manchester City's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Liverpool at Anfield, Pep Guardiola has confirmed.
City boss Guardiola told reporters at his pre-match press conference that Aguero is not fit to feature against Liverpool on Wednesday night and has been left behind in Manchester.
He said: "Sergio is in Manchester. He was injured the last two weeks."
Much has been made of the welcome the City team coach can expect as it arrives at Anfield.
But Guardiola is not concerned by any potential hostility they will face.
He added: "We came here to play a football game. Liverpool fans will put a lot of pressure on the players but that is what it is.
"This is a nice place to play football.
"People suggest what is going to happen tomorrow but I still have to see it to believe it. Hopefully it will be well and Liverpool fans can show their history speaks for itself."
