Atletico Madrid coach Quique Flores has declared that "logic and common sense" suggest that Sergio Aguero should not play for Argentina in their upcoming friendlies against Spain and Nigeria due to a thigh strain.

Although he came on as a sub against city rivals Real Madrid, Flores believes that the player should now be allowed to rest and recover for the rest of the season ahead.

"I rely a lot on common sense. We talked a lot with the player and he aired his feelings, which are better than before the game [against Real Madrid] and also note that he had to suffer a bit more, which we are grateful to Kun [Aguero] because he is an absolute professional, but logic and common sense say you should not play [with Argentina]," Flores said, according to ABC.

Los Colchoneros coach also called for common sense from Argentina coach Diego Maradona in handling the player's injury.

"I speak highly of the Argentina team doctor, who always shows great awareness in these situations. And I hope Maradona has the common sense necessary to know Kun should not participate in a game," he declared.

"We certainly talked with Kun about the pain, which cost us a lot having leave to a player as decisive as him on the bench [against Madrid]."
