Sergio Aguero reportedly picked up some blisters on his feet following his move from Atletico Madrid to Manchester City, but by all accounts he's back in training with City, and he's expected to make the bench, but not start the 2011 Community Shield against Manchester United on Sunday. His fellow new signings Gael Clichy and Stefan Savic should be in the 18-man squad, but in an unknown capacity.
