Asked if he had a problem with Aguero being abroad at the time of the accident, Guardiola said: “No It was a day off.
“He cannot play tomorrow. The first impression is that he has broken a rib, but how many days he will be out, I don't know.
“I think on the day off it's important to be happy. I think the players have to rest physically and enjoy their lives. So if he wants to go there, I'm happy for him.
“I'm not the police. Of course it's a problem, I would prefer to be with [Benjamin] Mendy,[Vincent] Kompany and him. We will play with 11.”
The 29-year-old is set to miss 11 games during his enforced lay-off including City's trip to Chelsea tomorrow, as well as two World Cup qualifiers with Argentina.
