Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, who suffered a broken rib in a car crash on Thursday night, took to Instagram to reassure fans that the injury isn’t as serious as previously thought and he was looking to return to the football pitch as soon as possible.

Muchas gracias de corazón por tantos mensajes de apoyo que me ayudan para recuperarme mejor. Quiero agradecer por la excelente atención y trato que recibí en el VU University Medical Amsterdam. Mi reconocimiento a sus profesionales. Ahora ya estoy en mi casa de Manchester después de haber sido evaluado por los médicos del City. Tengo fractura de costilla. Estoy dolorido pero bien y ya con toda mis fuerzas pensando en la recuperación. Thank you with all my heart for the supportive messages, they really do help me in recovering. 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 Drs. It’s a broken rib. Hurts, but I’m fine, fully focused on recovery.

Aguero, who travelled to Holland on his day off to attend the concert of his friend and singer Maluma, was on his way back to the airport when his taxi driver lost control and veered into a pole.

@maluma . Gracias por la invitación !! 👌🏽

The pictures that emerged in the aftermath had fans fearing the worst, with many reports circulating that the 29-year-old had fractured several ribs. But the striker in his post clarified that only one rib has been fractured.

A fractured rib will keep the the striker, who has been in sensational form this season, out for a month at least.

Meanwhile, Premier League leaders City travel to defending champions Chelsea for a crunch clash on Saturday night and will hope the loss of their top scorer does not derail their title-charge.
