Zabaleta and Coloccini included but no place for Tevez

Aguero sustained a knee injury early in City's opening Premier League match against Southampton on Sunday and was earmarked for a comeback at Stoke on September 15th.

But Argentina manager Alejandro Sabella has called up the ۲۴ - year - old to play at home against Paraguay on September ۷th before travelling to face Peru on September ۱۱th.

The other surprise decision in Sabella ' s squad is a first call - up for ۲۸ - year - old Palmeiras striker Hernan Barcos.

Barcos said: " This is a prize after so much effort. It ' s a proud moment for me to train and compete with great players that I admire. "

Aguero ' s City team - mate Pablo Zabaleta and Newcastle ' s Fabricio Coloccini are also included but once again there is no place for Carlos Tevez.
