Sergio Aguero is undoubtedly going to cement his legacy as a Manchester City legend but the question is whether he has already played his last game for the club. The Argentine striker has been at the Etihad for more than a decade and is just one Premier League goal shy of equaling Wayne Rooney's record of 183 goals scored for one club in the competition. However, as per the latest Sergio Aguero injury update, the striker may not be able to break Rooney's record as he may miss all the games until the Man City vs Chelsea Champions League final.

Sergio Aguero injury update: Will Sergio Aguero return for one more game for Manchester City?

As per the latest Sergio Aguero injury update, the Manchester City striker is not fit currently as explained by Pep Guardiola in his latest interview. "He has niggles. He's a little bit disturbed in his leg, his adductor. He felt something before the Newcastle game. Today he's still not fit. Hopefully, he'll be ready to play against Everton. If Sergio is fit he is going to help us, that is for sure. If he is going to help us score goals he is going to play, but it's the final of the Champions League. I have to take the decision that gives us the best chance of winning that game," said Guardiola.

The Argentine striker has missed most of the ongoing 2020-21 season and also missed City's last game against Newcastle in the Premier League on Friday. If Pep's statement is taken into consideration it seems a Sergio Aguero return to the starting lineup for the Champions League final is unlikely as the Argentine has fallen down the pecking order ever since the Spanish boss took in charge of the club in 2016. Hence, it seems that Man City fans will only be able to give Aguero a good sending off if he is fit for the game against Everton with Man City already having wrapped up the Premier League title.
