Roberto Mancini hints that Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero could feature for his side's opening Champions League match against Real Madrid tomorrow.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed that striker Sergio Aguero will travel with his side to face Real Madrid in their first Champions League group clash.

The Argentina international has been unavailable to the Italian boss since suffering an ankle injury in City's 3-2 win over Southampton on the opening day of the season.

"I think he can have a chance," ESPN quotes Mancini as saying. "Sergio will travel with us.

"He worked with the team in the last three days before the Stoke game. We didn't want to take any risks with him but maybe he can be ready for Madrid. Will he start? I don't know."

Mancini has also insisted that his Premier League-winning side will go to the Bernabeu determined to grab three points from the Spanish champions.
