David Silva and Sergio Aguero have given City an injury scare ahead of Wednesday night's League Cup tie against Sheffield Wednesday.

Both players have been ruled out of the third round clash, as the Blues begin their defence of the trophy, with Aguero taking a kick on the knee against Chelsea and Silva having an ankle problem.

But manager Manuel Pellegrini said that both Silva and Aguero should be fit to play at Hull on Saturday – and that Stevan Jovetic, out for over a fortnight with a hamstring tweak, could join them.

Samir Nasri will also miss the Wednesday game with a groin problem, and he and midfielder Fernando are on course to be fit for next week's crunch Champions League game against Roma.

Pablo Zabaleta is suspended following his red card against Chelsea.
