Manchester City have confirmed that Argentina forward, Sergio Aguero will return to England to be tested by club doctors after being involved in a road accident.
He is reported to have suffered a fractured rib in the car crash in the Netherlands.
Aguero could miss six to eight weeks because of the injury, which would instantly rule him out for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea and a key pair of World Cup qualifiers for Argentina next week.
He boarded a cab en route to the airport in Amsterdam after attending a concert on Thursday night put on by Maluma, a Colombian singer, when the driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a column on the side of the road.
Man City said in a statement, which read: “Sergio Aguero will be assessed by Club doctors today after being involved in a road accident on Thursday.
“The City forward was in Holland on his day off and has sustained injuries.
“He will return to Manchester this morning and his status will be checked ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League clash at Chelsea.”
A spokesman for the Amsterdam police department said: “A taxi crashed into a lamppost on De Beolelaan at 23:00 hours.
“Two persons have been taken to hospital for observation.
“The passengers of the cab have asked for their names to be kept confidential.”
