Manuel Pellegrini calm despite Manchester City injury worries

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini will not be rushed into signing another striker in January despite an ongoing injury crisis which threatens his side’s increasingly hectic campaign.

Pellegrini plugged a gap last year by landing Wilfried Bony from Swansea but believes a stronger squad this time around makes it less imperative for him to hunt for reinforcements.

Sergio Aguero has been ruled out for City’s Premier League early kick-off at Stoke today, joining the likes of Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta and Yaya Toure on the sidelines.
