“Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini was frustrated when his striker Sergio Aguero was called up by Argentina for a friendly against Germany two weeks ago. And he is exasperated to see Aguero’s name in his country’s squad for the coming World Cup qualifiers. The trip to Germany came just a few days before City began their defence of the Premier League title. And Aguero’s injury means that he has limited chances of being fit in time to play for his country next month. A journey across the Atlantic is quite possibly not an ideal part of the player’s recovery. Mancini’s position, then, is totally understandable. But so too is that of Argentina boss Alejandro Sabella.” BBC – Tim Vickery
