Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has confirmed that he is back in first team training.

The current Premier League joint-top scorer has been out of action since he picked up a knee injury at the start of last month.

The news will be a boost to City, who have hauled back Chelsea and sit level on points at the top of the league standings.

Aguero has scored 14 goals this season and should be fit to face Arsenal on January 18th, assuming he does not suffer a setback.

I wanted you to know I've already started field work. Slowly but surely I'll be back at the right moment. Thanks for the wishes!
