Sergio Aguero is to have a scan on Wednesday amid fears that his season may be over.

The Manchester City striker limped off at the end of the Blues' 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough and appeared to be clutching at his groin in some discomfort.

He had earlier scored from the penalty spot to take his streak of goalscoring to 13 in the last 14 City games and then crossed for Gabriel Jesus to grab a point for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jesus himself was making his first start in ten weeks, after fracturing a metatarsal in February, and the two strikers had started a game together for the first time.

Aguero had been virtually injury-free this season after his City career had been repeatedly interrupted by a series of muscle injuries.

Unless the scan reveals minor damage, he will be struggling to make City's run of three home games in ten days, which starts against Crystal Palace at Saturday lunchtime.

Those games are crucial as City seek to secure Champions League football for next season by finishing in the top four.

The probable blow will be softened by the return of Jesus, but he had a quiet game at Boro, despite heading in the Blues' second equaliser from an Aguero cross.

And Guardiola himself urged patience from the City fans, tweeting: “He's been 3 months out and has had only 4 sessions”.

Jesus himself was just glad to get back on the pitch, saying: “I've never been out for so much time, but I'm happy to be back, doing what I love.

“Now it's train and play, train and play to try to secure a place at Champions League.”
