# Manchester City: Fans find silver lining in Sergio Aguero injury blow

**Sergio Aguero has had a great season so far for the Sky Blues, scoring [nine goals and assisting two others in 12 appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/14260/History/Sergio-Ag%C3%BCero) this campaign, but supporters have found a potential silver lining to the news that he will miss the impending Manchester Derby.**

After Pep Guardiola’s side [overcame Chelsea at the Etihad](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/nov/23/manchester-city-chelsea-premier-league-match-report) on Saturday, with Kevin De Bruyne and a stunning solo effort from Riyad Mahrez cancelling out N’Golo Kante’s opener, some seemingly bad news surfaced following the much-needed victory – with star striker Aguero [ruled out for ‘a few weeks’](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50547189) with a thigh injury.

This blow couldn’t come at a worse time for City, with the Manchester derby [looming in their fixture calendar](https://www.mancity.com/fixtures), a game that the Argentine famously thrives in – having [levelled the record with Wayne Rooney](https://www.goal.com/en-ph/news/aguero-matches-rooneys-manchester-derby-record-as-city-star/abz6kd01k38t1v0vl1ds9fgos) last season for all-time Premier League derby goals.

However, judging by the responses on Twitter, some supporters have found a potential silver lining with Gabriel Jesus stepping in his place – reacting with surprising positivity to the potential absence.

Here’s what they had to say on social media.
