Aguero returns to Manchester after car accident: 'I'm fine'

Manchester City's Sergio Aguero gave an update on his health and well-being Friday via social media, revealing that he's at home in Manchester and feels fine, but confirming he broke a rib in a car accident in Amsterdam.

Aguero also provided some details about the incident, and offered his gratitude to the doctors and nurses who took care of him following the crash. He confirmed he'd been wearing a seat belt, which likely prevented him from suffering further harm.

The accident occurred late Thursday night in Holland as Aguero was returning from a concert by Colombian singer Maluma, whom he was photographed with earlier in the evening. Manchester City provided an update Friday morning explaining the 29-year-old will be assessed by club doctors.

Aguero told Radio Metro in Argentina: "The taxi driver didn't see the curve and skidded. And when he lost control we hit the post. I broke the eighth rib and it hurts a lot. I was hospitalised, but they gave me a quick discharge and I'll have to rest."

It is not yet known how long Aguero will be sidelined, though it's safe to say he will miss Saturday's clash against Chelsea. He'll also likely be out for Argentina's crucial World Cup qualifying matches with Peru and Ecuador in the upcoming international break.
