Sergio Aguero's nightmare season took another turn for the worse on Thursday when the Manchester City striker revealed he has tested positive for Covid-19.
The 32-year-old Argentine had been self-isolating since January 10 after coming into close contact with someone who had contracted the virus and has now tested positive just days before his quarantine period was due to be over.
Aguero, who has made just three starts this season due to a knee injury and none since October, will now enter another two-week period of isolation and must return a negative test before he can return to action.
Aguero tweeted on Thursday: 'After a close contact, I've been self-isolating and the latest test I took was positive for COVID 19. I had some symptoms and I'm following doctor's orders for recovery. Take care, everyone!'
City were hoping that Aguero would be able to return against West Brom on Tuesday night, having had a previously pencilled in return date against Birmingham earlier this month scrapped because of his original isolation period.
