Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed his anger after Argentina called up the injured Sergio Aguero.
Mancini doesn't believe that having to travel will have helped the striker.
Aguero picked up a knee injury in the opening game of the season against Southampton.
Despite this, Argentina boss Alejandro Sabella named Aguero in the squad for the recent qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru.
Mancini told Sky Sports News: "He went there for five days, he worked with the physio. The Argentina manager wanted him there.
"This is a stupid rule because if we had a player who is injured for two weeks it is better he stays here"
Aguero will undergo a fitness test ahead of today's game against Stoke City at the Britannia.
