Capital One Cup: Sergio Aguero could be fit for the final
Manchester City's top scorer Sergio Aguero is in contention to play in Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Sunderland as he returned to regular training on Tuesday. The star striker has missed the whole past month due to a hamstring injury he had sustained during a 5-1 win at Tottenham. In his absence Manchester City have failed to score in three out of five matches. The Citizens have lost at home to Chelsea in the Premier League and to Barcelona in the Champions League and also recorded a 0-0 draw at Norwich. They did beat Stoke at Etihad Stadium last weekend, but only by one goal. City manager Manuel Pellegrini has admitted that strikers Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko have not been 100% fit, while Stevan Jovetic was replaced against Stoke after suffering from cramp. All four should be back to full capacity for Sunday's final though, along with Aguero. The Argentinian striker has scored 26 goals in all competitions this season but has already had a spell on the sidelines after injuring his calf in December. Team-mate Samir Nasri said: "It is going to be a big boost for the team having Aguero back, but you cannot disrespect Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko. They have done a great job too. It will be good when another striker comes, and with Stevan Jovetic and them we can rotate and be more fresh." Manchester City are 1/7 at Bet365 to lift the trophy while the match odds are as follows: Manchester City win - 1/4 Draw - 5/1 Sunderland win - 9/1
