# Aguero set to miss Chelsea clash after car accident

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero looks set to miss this weekend’s game with Chelsea after being caught up in a car accident in the Netherlands and reportedly fracturing a rib, according to [ESPN](https://twitter.com/espnfc/status/913608391208996866).

The Argentine has been in dazzling form for Pep Guardiola’s side this season, netting seven goals in his last eight matches, and the prospect of him being sidelined for six weeks would be a big blow to Guardiola, starting this Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

ESPN’s sources believe that Aguero was en route to Amsterdam airport after attending a concert when his taxi driver lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a column on the side of the road.

City have confirmed the news in an official club statement which reads:

> Sergio Aguero will be assessed by Club doctors today after being involved in a road accident on Thursday. The City forward was in Holland on his day off and has sustained injuries.

The game at the weekend is a huge chance for Chelsea to close the three-point gap between themselves and both Manchester clubs.
