Sergio Aguero: Man City striker's comeback delayed after positive Covid-19 test

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has tested positive for Covid-19.

The Argentine, who has only played a total of 141 minutes across five appearances this season, was already isolating after coming into contact with a positive case.

The 32-year-old tweeted: "I had some symptoms and I'm following doctor's orders for recovery."

Aguero missed the past three matches as he self-isolated and is now set to be out for a longer spell.

This is the latest setback for City's all-time top scorer following knee and hamstring problems earlier in the campaign.

Aguero, who has been with the club since 2011, has only figured for 31 minutes since being substituted at half-time in the draw at West Ham on 24 October.
