Our all-time leading scorer was the subject of a late challenge towards the end of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final with Aston Villa and limped off six minutes from time with an ice pack around his leg.
But, speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday night’s trip across the Pennines, Guardiola confirmed that Aguero had suffered no lasting effects.
However, the City manager added that though Leroy Sane made his welcome return to action after six months out through injury with our EDS in last Friday’s PL 2 win at Arsenal, the German winger will not be involved at Hillsborough.

“Sergio, he’ll be okay for tomorrow,” the City manager confirmed who also added that Claudio Bravo would retain his place in goal for the trip to Yorkshire.
“But Leroy is not ready. After six months out, it’s a process.
“You feel good but confidence… he’s doing the normal steps to come back. Playing in second team for 50, 60 minutes…
“Now, after weeks and weeks, playing with second team. Maybe he can start (with them).”
With City having just secured our second piece of silverware at Wembley, following on from last August’s Community Shield, the Club are also still in the hunt for success in both the FA Cup and Champions League.

However, rather than looking too far ahead, the boss stressed that his side’s focus was solely trained on the trip to Hillsborough.
And Guardiola added that he was anticipating another formidable challenge from the Championship outfit.
“We are just thinking about tomorrow,” said Guardiola. “I learnt (in my previous Clubs) when they win a trophy, they take a shower and then think about the next game.
“It’s so nice what we have done in the Carabao Cup for the last few years.
“But the FA Cup is always difficult for the fact it’s so important for the country for all the clubs in England
“We can go through to the quarter-finals and that is what we have to do, be focused on that.
“We cannot deny that tomorrow is an incredibly important game for us. It’s maybe easier to play in the Premier League.
“We need to be incredibly focused.”
