Platt: City not short of options

DAVID PLATT insists that Sergio Aguero’s groin problem does not leave Manchester City short on attacking alternatives with Carlos Tevez suspended.

Aguero looks to be touch and go for the visit of Aston Villa after the international break, meaning that Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko are Roberto Mancini’s only fit forwards.

Tevez is set to be interviewed as part of the internal investigation into his apparent refusal to come off the bench as a substitute in City’s 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich last week.
