The accident happened in Amsterdam, Holland, while the Argentine footballer was returning to the airport after attending a concert by Colombian singer, Maluma. His cab driver is said to have lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a pole by the side of the road and though Aguero was wearing his seatbelt, he is said to have been badly injured, and had to be carried away in an ambulance.
According to reports, Aguero could miss six to eight weeks due to the injury. This obviously rules him out of tomorrow's crucial English Premier League clash with Chelsea, besides a couple of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers for Argentina.

The news serves as a double blow to EPL title challengers Manchester City after the club recently announced that their top defender, Benjamin Mendy, will miss the remainder of the season after rupturing his knee ligaments. The news is worse for Argentina considering they have two crucial World Cup qualifiers, against Peru on October 5 and Ecuador on October 10.
