(Reuters) - Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero will miss next week's Manchester derby because of a hamstring injury, manager Manuel Pellegrini said on Friday.

Argentine striker Aguero picked up the injury during City's 2-1 Champions League defeat by Barcelona last Wednesday, and Pellegrini will now be forced to soldier on without his leading scorer.
