The absence of Sergio Aguero has had a huge impact on Manchester City as Pep Guardiola’s team have struggled to score goals. The Argentine missed the start of the season due to a knee problem but upon his return suffered a hamstring injury, which once again kept him out of action. However, after some individual sessions, the 32-year-old is expected to join the first-team training this week.

Meanwhile, Fernandinho, who was injured last month during a Champions League clash against Porto is also moving closer to a return. The Brazilian also trained alone past week but could be given the medical green light to make it to the weekend squad for the game against Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester City suffered few injury setbacks during the international break as well. Dutch defender Nathan Ake is set to be out for a prolonged period of time while Raheem Sterling, who has missed England’s both games so far, could return.

Sterling missed England’s friendly with the Republic of Ireland and the Nations League clash with Belgium as a precaution after feeling a muscle twinge in training. The winger is expected to sit out the clash against Iceland as well but with the injury not deemed to be too severe, could make it to the weekend clash.
