TEAM NEWS: Aguero injury setback for Man City, Hull to recall Jelavic and Long
MANCHESTER CITY will be without top goalscorer Sergio Aguero for their trip to Hull as the hosts will see the return of strikers Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long.
The Argentinian was withdrawn at half-time for City during the Champions League defeat to Barcelona in midweek with another hamstring problem.
Fellow forward Stevan Jovetic (hamstring) and defender Matija Nastasic (knee) are also still sidelined, while right-back Micah Richards has picked up a knock.
The Tigers were without Jelavic and Long for their FA Cup quarter-final win over Sunderland last week due to being cup-tied, but are set to return to the starting XI.
Boss Steve Bruce has no new injury concerns as his side go in search of the first of the two victories he believes will secure their top-flight status.
Manchester City provisional squad: Hart, Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Lescott, Boyata, Kolarov, Clichy, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Navas, Fernandinho, Toure, Garcia, Rodwell, Dzeko, Negredo.
