Guardiola named Barclays Manager of the Month

Manchester City star striker Sergio Aguero is pushing for inclusion in the Citizens squad to face Stoke City on Saturday in what would be a surprise early return from the rib injury the striker suffered in a auto crash less than two weeks ago.

The 24-year-old opened his domestic account for the season with a brace in Tottenham's 3-0 win at Everton on September 9, but failed to find the net as his side were held to a 0-0 draw by struggling Swansea City in their next league game.

Pep Guardiola has won the Barclays Manager of the Month award after a flawless record with Manchester City in September.

The Argentine suffered a broken rib, which was to sideline him for up to six weeks.


They have taken 19 points from their first seven games, scoring a whopping 22 goals and conceding just two. Aguero said on Twitter.

City sit top of the Premier League on goal difference ahead of neighbours Manchester United and entertain Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane was named player of the month after scoring six goals in four league games.

Stoke will head into the match on the back of a 2-1 home success over Southampton, a result that brought the Potters run of three straight defeats in all competitions to an end.
