Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been ruled out for at least a month with a calf injury.
The Argentine was taken off during the Sky Blues' 6 - 3 win over Arsenal.
He will miss the busy Christmas period, including a clash against Liverpool on Stephen's Day, but should be available for City's Champions League ties against Barcelona in February.
