Aguero hat-trick

Manchester City star Sergio Aguero kicks off three-game ban by watching little brother make his debut for Argentine side

Mauricio del Castillo becomes the THIRD sibling to make senior debut as he turned out for Deportivo Moron in Primera B

MANCHESTER CITY star Sergio Aguero has kicked off his three-game ban by watching his younger brother make his debut in Argentina.

The Etihad ace, 28, is currently serving a suspension after elbowing Winston Reid during City's 3-1 win over West Ham last weekend.

Aguero is now set to miss Pep Guardiola and Co's showdown with Bournemouth on September 17, the League Cup third round game with Swansea - as well as crucially missing the Manchester derby on September 10.

But instead of wallowing in self-pity, the Argentine has taken himself off to his home nation to watch younger brother Mauricio del Castillo make his senior debut.

The 20-year-old forward was playing in the Primera B match for Deportivo Moron against Estudiantes de Caseros.

Aguero was sat in the director's box for the clash drinking South American beverage 'mate' - a caffeine-rich, herbal concoction - as his little bro's side ran out 2-1 losers.

Mauricio becomes the THIRD sibling to make his senior debut, after youngest brother Gaston made a season-long loan move from Argentine top flight side Independiente to Cadiz - currently playing in Spain's Segunda Division - last week.

The City man is currently not taking part on his nation's World Cup qualifier against Venezuela on Wednesday due to a groin injury.

Aguero is most likely to make his return to the City fold when Guardiola's side - currently top of the Premier League - take on Borussia Monchengladbach on September 13.

He won't be available domestically until their game with Swansea on September 21.
