Sergio Aguero could make his long-awaited debut for Barcelona at the end of next month - but his side's clash with Real Madrid on October 24 could still come too soon.
The Argentine left Manchester City for the LaLiga side on a free transfer in the summer, but his spell at the Nou Camp has not gone according to plan.
Aguero was ruled out for up to 10 weeks after injuring a tendon in his right calf in training in August, just a day after Barcelona had confirmed his friend Lionel Messi's shock departure to Paris Saint-Germain.
