Pellegrini Backs Under- firing Aguero to 'kick start' his season

Sergio Aguero is not in a "bad moment" as Manuel
Pellegrini backed the Manchester City star to kick-start
his season.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists he has no
concerns over Sergio Aguero despite the forward's slow start to
the season.

The Argentina international, last year's golden boot winner in the
Premier League, has just one league goal in six outings this
campaign.

Aguero, who suffered a knee injury against Crystal Palace
earlier in September, did score against Sunderland in the
League Cup on Tuesday.

Pellegrini believes the 27-year-old is well-placed to kick-start
his season when City visit Tottenham on Saturday.

"I don't think he needs help in this moment because he is not in
a bad moment," Pellegrini said.

"I am absolutely sure that if he didn't score in the last two
games it's because he was not 100 per cent fit.

"But against Sunderland he participates with a lot of the play for
the team so I don't have any doubt.

"Normally, Sergio scores goals. Sometimes, when he's come
back from a long injury, he needs one or two games to recover
his normal performance.

"But he's a very important player and we have a lot of trust in
him. It's a matter of confidence."
