Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero will miss Saturday's trip to Aston Villa in the Premier League with manager Manuel Pellegrini resting him before their Champions League encounter with Bayern Munich.
.
The Argentine scored twice in City's 4-1 thumping of champions Manchester United last weekend but did not feature in Tuesday's 5-0 hammering of Wigan Athletic in the Capital One Cup.
.
"Aguero finished the last derby in the last play with a small pain, I think it was nothing important but I think it was a risk for him to play three games in the same week," Pellegrini told a news conference.
.
"We will leave him for next Wednesday but he will be absolutely fine."
.
Attacking midfielder David Silva, who has missed City's last four matches with a thigh injury, is also not in the squad for the match at Villa Park and will be assessed before Wednesday's home game against European champions Bayern.
Too bad for the Manchester teams this weekend as they both humiliated in the English Premier League. It's very sad!
