Argentina striker Sergio Aguero’s miserable
World Cup took another turn for the worse with him
being ruled out of next Tuesday’s last 16 match
with Switzerland because of a leg injury.
The 26-year-old Manchester City star — who had
several injury problems last season — went off in
the first-half of Tuesday’s final group game with
Nigeria and scans revealed the damage, said
Argentine team doctor Daniel Martinez.

The Argentinian camp, though, denied rumours that
the injury is more serious than they are saying and
that he could miss the rest of the tournament.
“It is a muscle injury,” the Argentine press officer
Andres Ventura told AFP.
“To interpret that as meaning he will play no further
part in the World Cup is taking things too far.”
Aguero, who despite his injuries last season still
scored 17 goals as City won the title, has failed to
add to his 21 goals for his country in his three
appearances and has been largely overshadowed
by Lionel Messi, who is joint top scorer with four.
