Sergio Aguero fit to play for Manchester City after falling ill during Argentina game
Written by News on 16/11/2017
Sergio Aguero has confirmed that he is fit to play for Manchester City on Saturday after being taken to hospital during Argentina’s 4-2 defeat to Nigeria.
He took to Twitter on Thursday, saying: "All the tests they run on me – just for caution – turn out well, so I’m set to go for Saturday’s match. C’mon, City!!"
The news will be a boost for Pep Guardiola as he looks to guide his side to an 11th win in 12 Premier League games this season.
Aguero was playing for Argentina on Tuesday, in a friendly against Nigeria, when he was taken ill at half-time.
The Argentine FA tweeted at the time that Aguero had suffered a "blackout" and was taken to hospital for precautionary routine examinations.
However, Man City contradicted the AFA by insisting that Aguero didn’t lose consciousness. Since returning to Manchester, he has been assessed by their medical staff, and he has now declared himself fit to face Leicester on Saturday.
