(Reuters) - Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has a big future with the club despite being dropped to the bench in recent weeks, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday.

Aguero is City's top scorer, with 18 goals in 25 appearances this season, but faces a fight to get back into the team for Sunday's clash with Swansea City after missing Wednesday's impressive 4-0 win at West Ham United.
