WITH Diego Costa and Fernando Torres rested by Atletico Madrid ahead of the Europa League, Diego Simeone could turn to Aguero.
Not Manchester City striker Sergio… but his Argentinian compatriot Juan who is looking to make his first appearance for the first team.
The 18-year-old has been named on the bench alongside Costa and Torres, while Antoine Griezmann has not even been named in the squad to face Deportivo La Coruna.
Young Aguero has starred for the La Liga club in the Uefa Youth League this season, with the midfielder netting once in ten games.
And while he has featured three times for Spain’s Under-17s squad, the starlet was recently called up by the Argentinian U20 side.
Atletico fans have already been quick to point that having Aguero in the team is surely a lucky omen, with Sergio achieving cult status after netting 101 times in 234 games between 2006-2011 for Los Colchoneros.
