Iniesta 23:39

The Argentine Sergio Aguero will miss Manchester City debut this season Champions League against Juventus by a knee injury, said coach Manuel Pellegrini.

Aguero limped off the field on Saturday in the first half of the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League, a result that kept the coach of the Chilean team with a perfect campaign this season.

David Silva, who recovered from an ankle injury, and Raheem Sterling, who had a hamstring problem, are able to start Tuesday's game against Italian champions after missing the match against Palace. Samir Nasri and Fernandinho could also return.

Aguero suffered an injury in December ligaments in a knee that sidelined him for seven games, but came back with a flurry of goals at the end of the season to finish as top scorer in the Premier League with 26 goals.

However, Argentina's only scored one goal this season, when he scored in a 3-0 win over Chelsea a month ago.

The City will also be without the injured Fabian Delph (hamstring), Pablo Zabaleta (knee) and Gael Clichy (ankle).

Chile could start the match against Juventus with Wilfried Bony as one man in attack.
