Man City forward Sergio Aguero suffers fractured rib in car crash

Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has suffered a fractured rib in a car crash in Amsterdam on Thursday evening.

Aguero was believed to be in Amsterdam attending a concert by Colombian singer-songwriter Maluma.

Speaking to Radio Metro de Argentina, the forward said that the driver of the taxi he was in had skidded and hit a pole.

“I broke my rib, now I’m resting. It hurts me badly. I’ll be discharged in a little while,” said Aguero.

The striker is now set to miss City’s upcoming match against Chelsea on Sunday, as well as Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers in early October.

“Sergio Aguero will be assessed by club doctors today [Friday] 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,” read a statement by the club.
