Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has become accustomed to life on the Citizens bench in recent games
According to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, he does not know if Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero will be at the club at the end of the season.
City favourite Aguero has found himself relegated to the bench in recent games, as Brazilian starlet Gabriel Jesus has been preferred in the lone striker role.
It is the signing and early performances of the young Brazilian that has fuelled the rumours about Aguero leaving the club in the near future.
However, it is very early days in Jesus’ career in England. It is too early to say the 19-year-old is the long-term replacement for Aguero.

Pep Guardiola will assess captain Vincent Kompany and midfielder Fabian Delph after the duo came in from the cold to start Manchester City s 2-1 Premier League defeat to Chelsea.
Kompany was making his first start in the top flight since November, while Delph also completed 90 minutes having been selected in a Premier League starting XI by Guardiola for the first time.
City welcome Hull City to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, their sights firmly trained upon securing a top-four spot after Chelsea extinguished any lingering title hopes in midweek.
Kompany and Delph both acquitted themselves well in central defence and central midfield respectively at Stamford Bridge but Guardiola is understandably wary of asking too much of men who have suffered wretched luck wit…

There’s no other place to start this week’s review than at the Bernabeu where Lionel Messi once again proved beyond doubt he is the greatest footballer on the entire planet. He scored twice, making him El Clasico’s top all-time goalscorer, as well as netting his 500th Barca goal. His 92nd minute winner was the stuff of legend though, ensuring the title race is well and truly back on.

Bosnia-Herzegovina have dismissed coach Safet Susic following a disappointing start to their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
A return of two points from their opening four fixtures has left Bosnia languishing one place off the bottom in Group B Sunday s 3-0 defeat away to Israel proving Susic s final assignment as coach.
Having taken over in 2009, Susic has overseen one of the most successful periods in the short history of the Bosnian national team.
After helping his side to the play-offs for the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, Susic guided Bosnia to their first major finals earlier this year.
Bosnia won just one of their three group matches in Brazil a 3-1 victory over Iran and failed to make it to the knockout stages of the competition.

United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann will be taking no chances in their World Cup 2018 qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday in Port of Spain.
The USMNT began its campaign with a resounding 6-1 victory against St Vincent and the Grenadines on Friday in St. Louis, despite an early scare when Oalex Anderson put the visitors ahead inside five minutes.
The victory was Klinsmann s 43rd as coach of the national team, though he trails Bruce Arena s record of 71 wins accumulated between 1998 and 2006.
Trinidad and Tobago reached the quarterfinals of the 2015 Gold Cup, suffering elimination at the hands of Panama, which went on to beat the U.S. on penalties in the third-place playoff.
Klinsmann believes such form warrants due care from his side.

Two sides suffering a woeful start to the new Premier League campaign, Fulham will travel to Huddersfield hoping to put an end to their miserable run against the league s bottom side.

Chris Coleman has resigned from his position as Wales manager amid speculation he is set to take over at Championship club Sunderland.
Coleman s reputation sky-rocketed after leading Wales previously without a major tournament appearance since 1958 to the Euro 2016 semi-finals, but he was unable to follow that up with qualification for next year s World Cup in Russia.
Wales were beaten by Republic of Ireland in their crucial final match of the qualifying campaign, and subsequent friendlies against France and Panama have proven to be Coleman s last matches in charge.
Sunderland, who are bottom of England s second tier following their relegation from the Premier League last season, have been without a manager since sacking Simon Grayson in October.

Christophe Galtier felt Paris Saint-Germain could have delivered a bigger victory after Kylian Mbappe made Ligue 1 history in their 3-1 win over Lens.
The forward became the club s all-time top goalscorer in the competition after he struck in the first half amid a ruthless purple patch at Parc des Princes.
Further goals inside a blistering nine-minute spell for Vitinha and Lionel Messi helped the hosts run rampant against their title rivals, who had Salis Abdul Samed sent off beforehand.
But even with a comfortable result, Galtier felt his side could have delivered a more impressive second-half performance to match the occasion.
It was important [to get the win], he told Canal+. It was a pleasure to win. We benefited from the numerical advantage [we had]…
