MANCHESTER CITY’S hopes of landing an historic quadruple have been dealt a huge blow following the news Sergio Aguero will be sidelined for a month.

The Argentine striker will be out of four weeks at least with a damaged hamstring he suffered during the midweek win at Tottenham.

It means Aguero will miss Monday’s home clash with title rivals Chelsea as well as City’s FA Cup fifth round showdown with the Blues.

Aguero will also miss the home showdown with Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 meeting.

The hitman may struggle to be back in time for the Capital One Cup Final against Sunderland at the start of March.

His absence will be a big setback to Manuel Pellegrini and his chances of winning an unprecedented four trophies this season.

Sergio Aguero set to miss Manchester City's next three gamesAguero has scored 26 goals in 25 games this season and Pellegrini said: “Maybe he will be out for one month, but we are not sure now.

“Yes of course it will be difficult because he is a top player for us, but I think we will replace him, we hope we can continuing doing well.

“Sergio is just coming back from a calf injury when he could not play for a month and all the other strikers replaced him, so I hope they continue the same way. But we have lost the most important player.”

Pellegrini, meanwhile, insists he couldn’t care less what tactics Jose Mourinho decides on at the Etihad Stadium on Monday.

Mourinho played without a striker to secure a draw at Old Trafford earlier in the season and could repeat the plan against Pellegrini’s free-scoring outfit.

Pellegrini added: “The question for Mourinho is ‘what he is going to do?’ Normally Chelsea has a style of play.

“But he can do what he likes. I don’t have anything against Mourinho, it is not me against Mourinho or him against me.

“It is Manchester City against Chelsea, when both teams play for the title.”
