Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero could make his first start since October in Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie with second-tier Championship side Birmingham City, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday.

City’s record goalscorer Aguero has played nine games in all competitions this season after missing the start of the campaign following knee surgery.


The Argentine last started for City in a 1-1 Premier League draw at West Ham United on Oct. 24, when he was withdrawn at halftime with a hamstring problem.

“The feeling in the last ten days - two weeks, his reaction in his knee has been really good,” Guardiola told reporters.


“He is going to start and his performance and knee will dictate. We want good, quality minutes.

“It will be great to have Sergio back and in good condition."
