Manchester City have confirmed that Sergio Aguero will be assessed by the club’s medical team after he was involved in a car crash on Thursday.
The Argentina international was a passenger in a taxi en route to Amsterdam airport after attending a concert by Colombian singer Maluma on Thursday evening.
Reports claim that the 29-year-old has suffered a fractured rib, which could keep him sidelined for around two months.
But in their first update since Aguero’s accident, City have not ruled out the possibility of the striker playing against Chelsea on Saturday.
‘Sergio Aguero will be assessed by club doctors today after being involved in a road accident on Thursday,’ read a statement from City on Friday morning.
‘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.’
