Sergio Aguero is refusing to risk missing out onr City's title bid and the World Cup by rushing back from a hamstring injury. The Argentinian has not played since the Premier League since January after he aggravated the injury on his comeback during the Champions League last-16 second-leg clash at Barcelona on March 12th.

"With this recovery I am trying to do my best to be able to play again, but I cannot do it in a hurry," he told DirecTV. "I do think to myself if something happens now, I will lose the rest of the Premier League season and the World Cup."

Aguero also revealed that Pellegrini has told him that he needs to win the Champions League with City before thinking about moving to pastures new. "He says to me that I can't leave without winning a Champions League," added Aguero. "That's the objective of each player in Europe."
