Sergio Aguero expects to be available for Manchester City this weekend after fainting while away with Argentina.
The striker, who arrived back at City on Wednesday lunchtime, suffered a dizzy spell at half-time of the defeat by Nigeria.
He was taken to hospital before being cleared to fly back to England and will undergo further precautionary tests at the City Football Academy.
Sergio Aguero fainted during half-time of Argentina's game against Nigeria on Tuesday
Aguero - who scored in that game - is likely to be available for Manchester City on Saturday
Sportsmail understands Aguero is likely to be available for Saturday’s match at Leicester City.
Pep Guardiola could start the club's top goalscorer on the bench and favour Gabriel Jesus, who spent the international break closer to home with Brazil.
Argentina team doctor Donato Villani spoke on Tuesday night and referenced a previous heart problem.
'He felt bad twice, and with the medical history he has, since he was operated on when he was 15, we wanted to be sure it was nothing,’ Villani said.
But Pep Guardiola might favour Gabriel Jesus due to their relative distance traveled
‘We took him to hospital to make sure everything was normal. We prefer to wait to be sure.'
A City statement read: ‘Sergio never lost consciousness, and was taken to hospital for precautionary medical checks.’
Nicolas Otamendi - suspended for the game against the Foxes - also travelled with Aguero.
