Edin Dzeko has reassured
Manchester City fans that he
can fill the attacking void left
following Sergio Aguero's
injury.
Aguero, City's top scorer this
season with 19 goals in all
competitions, limped out of Saturday's 6-3 victory
over Arsenal and has been ruled out for at least a
month by manager Manuel Pellegrini with a calf
problem.
With concerns that the Argentina international could
be sidelined for even longer, Dzeko - who has nine
goals to his name this term after notching a double in
Tuesday's Capital One Cup win over Leicester City -
has vowed to step up in the 25-year-old's absence and
help keep City in the Premier League title race.
"Sergio being out is very bad for the team because he
has had an amazing season so far," he told the Daily
Mirror. "He has been scoring a lot of goals and he is
obviously a very important player for us.
"But that's life. Now we have to try to play games
without him, and try to keep winning. I am a striker
that has scored goals all my life and I love to do it.
"When I get a chance I try to do my best."
