Bizarrely, Sergio Aguero is getting stick for his weight.
As you may know, Pep Guardiola is cracking down on the eating habits of his Manchester City charges. He is demanding that his players start pre-season at their fighting weights, with no tolerance for close season indulgence.
French defender Gael Clichy spilled the (low-fat) beans on how the new manager has banned pizza, and won’t let players train with the first-team unless they’re properly in shape:
“He cut out some juice and pizza and all the heavy food is not allowed…if you’re weight is too high, you’re not training with the team.
“That is the first thing and you can hear it a lot, but for my part it’s the first time any manager has really done it. So we have a few players who are not training with the team yet.”
Perhaps putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, a number of people have picked up on images of Argentine hotshot Sergio Aguero in training for the Blues, and suggested that he is one of those singled out for their weight issues.

It seems slightly bizarre to pick on the striker – on the fourth anniversary of him joining Man City no less – considering he doesn’t look particularly overweight in the training ground images, but that hasn’t stopped people taking the piss regardless…

So is he one of the players going to Pep's fat camp? https://t.co/P1ddXFWHlF
