Sergio Aguero Out 2-4 Weeks With Broken Rib From Car Crash

Sep 30, 2017 11:48 AM

Sergio Aguero has suffered a broken rib in a car crash in Amsterdam.

Aguero was a passenger in a taxi en route to the airport in Amsterdam after attending a concert on Thursday night put on by Maluma, a Colombian singer, when the driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a column on the side of the road.

Aguero is expected to miss two to four weeks.

"Thank you with all my heart for the supportive messages, they really do help me in recovering.

"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.

"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 [doctors]. It's a broken rib. Hurts, but I'm fine, fully focused on recovery. Thank you all!"

City bought Mendy for £52 million this summer.

A club statement soon after read: "Ousmane Dembele has a hamstring injury in his left leg, more tests are needed to find out the extent of the injury."

Ernesto Valverde admitted after the game that Dembele is "going to have to spend some time on the sidelines."

"It's a muscle problem," Valverde added. "We think it's a tear, but we will do more tests tomorrow.

"It's a shame because he was just getting up to scratch with the team's dynamic. We hope he won't be out for a long time."

Paul Pogba has been ruled out for "a few matches" by Manchester United with a hamstring injury.

Jose Mourinho has admitted he doesn't know the full extent of the injury.

Pogba could be out through the Liverpool match on Oct. 14th, according to sources.

"I just know that it's a muscular injury, he's out for the weekend match, that's the only match I'm thinking about, I don't think any further than that. He's not playing this weekend. I just know it's a hamstring problem," said Mourinho.

"Squads are to try to cope with these kind of situations and we know that in a few situations, I don't know how many, but we are going to play without Pogba for a few matches but we have other players."

Pogba also picked up a hamstring injury in March.
