Manchester City star Sergio Aguero says his taxi ‘made a wrong turn’ before crashing into a pole in Amsterdam
The 29-year-old suffered two broken ribs in the accident on Thursday night as he cheated death en route to the airport
SERGIO AGUERO has revealed his taxi made a wrong turn before crashing into a pole in Amsterdam on Thursday night.
The 29-year-old has been ruled out of the Chelsea clash on Saturday, and could be out for TWO months after fracturing two ribs.
Aguero tweeted: "The taxi I was riding made a wrong turn and crashed against a pole.
"It was a very heavy slam but seatbelts prevented it from being worse."
While he also added in a series of messages: "Thank you with all my heart for the supportive messages, they really do help me in recovering.
"I'd like to thank the staff of the VU University Medical Amsterdam for their care and support. Hats off to all their team.
"I'm home in Manchester after an exam by club Drs. It's a broken rib. Hurts, but I'm fine, fully focused on recovery. Thank you all!"
Aguero was en route to the hotel after being in attendance to watch Colombian musician Maluma perform in Amsterdam.

Manchester City said in an earlier statement today: "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."
However Pep Guardiola has since revealed the striker will play no part in the action at Stamford Bridge.
The ex-Barca boss said: "Of course it was an accident but fortunately he comes back and can recover as soon as possible.
"It was a day off, not a problem. I’ve not spoken to him, I was busy preparing.
"I’ll speak this afternoon with him. But I know he’s ok and we hope he will recover as soon as possible.
"He cannot play tomorrow. He cannot go with Argentina. I don’t know until he sees the doctor, but the first impression is that he’s broken the rib but how many days he’ll be out, I don’t know."
