Guardiola admits Sergio Aguero is struggling to play after Diego Maradona death

Sergio Aguero is struggling to play after the death of Diego Maradona, admits Pep Guardiola.

The world of football is in mourning following the sudden passing of the Argentine legend on Wednesday following a heart attack.

Maradona was Aguero's former father-in-law following his marriage to Gianinna, his youngest daughter, and was grandfather to the Manchester City striker's 11-year-old son, Benjamin.

City host Burnley on Saturday, but Guardiola admitted his star man may not be in the frame of mind, despite making a substitute appearance in the Champions League win at Olympiacos in midweek.

Guardiola said: 'It's difficult for me to talk about his feelings. The game against Olympiacos was hard.

'Especially for his son. It's tough, normal. He knew Maradona well and his son, it's his grandfather.'
