Aguero Is Now Well – Argentine FA Reveals

BEVERLY HILLS, November 15, (THEWILL) – Argentina striker Sergio Aguero, who collapsed in the dressing room at halftime before they lost 4-2 to the Super Eagles of Nigeria after taking a two-goal lead, has now recovered.

The Argentine Football Federation (AFA) said in a statement that Aguero, who scored in the first half of the friendly, was taken away for routine examinations but added: “The player is well.”

Aguero was said to have fainted during half-time and was taken to hospital as Nigeria stunned Argentina in a friendly on Tuesday.

The Manchester City striker fell ill in the changing room. He was replaced by Dario Benedetto.

Aguero had earlier scored to put his side 2-0 up, becoming the Albiceleste’s third-highest scorer in the process.

But he suffered health issues at the break and was forced to leave the Stadion FK in Krasnodar to be given medical attention.

His English Premier League club Manchester City also stated that the 29-year-old Aguero had been cleared by doctors to return to England as planned after he suffered what they called “a dizzy spell.”

“Sergio never lost consciousness, but was taken to hospital for precautionary medical checks,” City said on their official website.

Aguero has eight goals in eight Premier League appearances for City so far this season, and his condition will be of huge concern for boss Pep Guardiola.
