Bony ire at losing place to Aguero
MANCHESTER City striker Wilfried Bony has said he was disappointed to lose his starting place to a returning Sergio Aguero after manager Manuel Pellegrini opted to start the Argentine in Monday’s 1-2 Premier League defeat by Arsenal.
Aguero was playing his first match in about three weeks following a heel injury and was replaced by the Ivory Coast international in the second half of the game.
“He (Aguero) is coming back from injury. He hasn’t played for a few weeks,” Bony told British media.
“I’m disappointed that I didn’t start but I’m not the coach. The coach does what he thinks is best for the team.”
The former Swansea City forward had scored three goals in four games leading to the clash at the Emirates Stadium, although Aguero is the club’s topscorer this season with nine goals, two more than Bony in five fewer matches.
Pellegrini backed his decision to start Aguero.
“He worked with the squad the whole week. He needs minutes,” the former Real Madrid manager said. “Normally when he comes back from an injury he needs minutes. I think that these minutes will be very important for him.”
City, which is third in the table, is four points behind Arsenal and six points behind shock leader Leicester City.
