Man City pair spotted in training ahead Everton showdown

Sergio Aguero stepped up his return to full fitness by taking part in Manchester City training after the win over Tottenham.

Aguero was a surprise inclusion on the bench against Spurs after Pep Guardiola had previously urged caution over easing him back too soon from his injury and isolation setbacks.

However, Guardiola named Aguero on the bench, saying the decision was made on Friday in order to reacclimatise Aguero with the matchday routine.

He was absent from the pre-match warm-ups and didn’t make it off the bench despite City leading comfortably in the closing stages, suggesting the plan was never to bring him on.

Another player on the bench against Spurs was Ruben Dias, who had a fever last week, but wasn’t fit enough to start at the weekend. In another boost, he was also training on Sunday as the players who didn’t feature took part in a light training session.

Man City will face Everton on Wednesday in a rescheduled Premier League match.
