Sergio Aguero car crash: Martin Keown says Manchester City ace was ‘selfish and unprofessional’ for flying to Holland to attend pop concert

SERGIO AGUERO is "selfish and unprofessional" for flying to a concert in Holland, says former Arsenal defender Martin Keown.

The Argentine striker is OUT of Manchester City's huge Premier League clash away at Chelsea today (Saturday) after breaking a rib in a car crash.

He was being driven back to the airport in Holland after watching Colombian pop star Maluma.

And Keown, in his column for the Daily Mail, says Aguero has questions to answer.

He said: "As a professional player, you need to prioritise football, there is no room in the calendar to jet off to concerts.

"At the end of the season you get four weeks off and that is the time to cram in what you want to do.

“In a way it is selfish that he should choose to go to Holland just before this huge match. It feels unprofessional.

“Aguero may not have broken City's code of conduct but there are still professional boundaries he needs to adhere to."

Due to the international break Aguero may be fit to face Stoke on October 14 in the best-case scenario.

If he is out for four weeks, however, City's top scorer will be unavailable to face Napoli, Burnley, Wolves and West Brom.

After returning to Manchester, Aguero tweeted to let his fans know he was alright and confirm he broke a rib.

The superstar said: "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 saved by his seat belt when the Crysler PT Cruiser he was being driven in to the airport careered into a post.
