The father of Sergio Aguero has detailed the Manchester City striker's car accident on Friday morning.
He is facing at least two months out after breaking a rib in the accident in Amsterdam.
Dad Leonel Del Castillo said: “The taxi was driving very fast, Kun (Aguero) asked him to slow down, put on his seat belt and crashed instantly.
“He was lucky. They put him on painkillers, he was released and taken to Manchester."
Aguero said: “The taxi driver did not see the curve and skid. And when he skidded, we hit the pole.
“I broke my rib, now I'm resting. It hurts me badly. I'll be discharged in a little while."
