Goal.com have now reported that the playmaker has “stepped up his recovery” and could make a City return when Liverpool make the short trip to Manchester on November 21.
City have been able to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League table despite Aguero’s absence, with Manuel Pellegrini’s men ahead of Arsenal on goal difference. The Uruguayan will then have the best possible chance of putting out a full strength side when the premier league gets back under way in just under two weeks.

He is not away with Argentina in the current global break and is working hard to return to action when City host Liverpool a week on Saturday. “We’ll see how it goes in the next week or so”, said Pablo.
“I’ll take things slowly and not rush into anything, but I’m not far away”, he said.
‘At the moment the plan is to re-join the rest of the team next Monday so hopefully, everything will go well and I’ll be available for our next game’.
