Sergio Aguero could miss the first two months of the season as the Manchester City striker battles back from a knee injury.
The Argentinian last played in June and had surgery on the meniscus problem which ruled him out of the Premier League run-in and conclusion of the Champions League knockout stage
"We knew that the injury was difficult," Guardiola said. "He is doing the job, in maybe one month or two months he will be ready.
"He has to come back on the pitch and regain the physical condition.
"Sergio was out for a long time and Sergio is not a guy who regains the physical condition quick so I think in one month or two months he will be ready."
Aguero, who is in the final year of his City contract, only featured in 32 matches last season - the lowest number since joining from
Atletico Madrid nine years ago.
With a truncated season following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a two-month lay-off could see him miss as many as 12 matches including the Premier League clash with champions Liverpool .
But it is hoped that he will return sooner after he stepped up his ball work earlier this week.
