Aguero’s father, Leonel del Castillo, told Radio La Red that he expects the City striker to undergo surgery in Barcelona later this week.
“His knee was already hurting and it got stuck during the game,” Del Castillo said.
“I’m sure it’s the meniscus, but tomorrow they’ll have an MRI scan to understand the extent of it [the damage].
“I predict that on Thursday or Friday he will be operated on in Barcelona.”

Silva is due to leave the club at the end of the season, with many tipping 20-year-old Foden to be the Spaniard’s successor.
"For David, it is difficult to find a replacement like him but, of course, we have a young Manchester City fan, who every time he plays adds something unique. He is special,” Guardiola said of Foden.
"Every time he plays he plays good. He is a guy who plays close to the box and has an incredible sense of goal.
"In the next decade, 15 years, he will be an outstanding player for us, for this amazing club.
"I don't have doubt about that because I saw his behaviour when he doesn't play. In the training sessions he never complains, there is never a bad face. When your behaviour is that way, always you can improve."
