Sergio Aguero is hopeful his hamstring injury is not serious after the Manchester City striker limped out of the win against Tottenham.



The Argentinian ace was withdrawn shortly before the break after pulling up on the halfway following a tussle with Spurs defender Michael Dawson and will be assessed on Wednesday to assess the full extent of the damage.

However, Aguero took to Twitter after the game to play down fears he could face a long lay-off.

He tweeted: 'I felt some pain in my right hamstring and left just as a precaution. My studies will tell me the degree of the injury. 'It’s a pity about the injury but it’s easier knowing that we are on top. I hope I get back out on the field soon to keep helping the team.'

City boss Manuel Pellegrini is keeping his fingers crossed the injury to Aguero is not serious. He said: 'We will see tomorrow with the doctor what happened with Sergio. We hope we can recover him as soon as possible.' Pain game: Aguero is consoled by Stevan Jovetic as he limps off

Aguero had given the visitors the lead at White Hart Lane on 15 minutes after he slotted past Hugo Lloris.

However, his night came to a premature end when he was replaced by Stevan Jovetic in the 45th minute and headed straight down the tunnel for treatment.

The former Atletico Madrid frontman has smashed 25 goals in just 24 games this season, but could face a spell on the sidelines after his injury blow.
