Man City’s Aguero to miss Chelsea match after involvement in auto crash

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been injured in a car crash in Amsterdam, and may miss this weekend’s Premier League clash with champions Chelsea.

The 29-year old, who missed a penalty for Manchester City in their 2-0 home win over Shaktar Doneskt in the UEFA Champions League, reportedly fractured a rib in the crash, in a taxi on his way to the airport after watching singer Maluma perform.

The club said he “was in Holland on his day off and has sustained injuries” and “will be assessed by Club doctors.”

He becomes the second player injured for Manchester City after Benjamin Mendy ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.

Aguero has scored seven goals in eight competitive games so far this season and has provided three assists.
