Sergio Aguero ‘suffers broken ribs’ in car crash in Amsterdam

,

Man City striker, Sergio Aguero has been badly injured in a car crash in Amsterdam, just hours after attending a concert. He was reported to be in a taxi on his way back to the airport when the incident occurred. 

 

City has said, “he was in Holland on his day off and has sustained injuries.”

Expected back in Manchester today, Aguero will be examined by City’s medical team, ahead of the Premier League trip to Chelsea on Saturday.

Police in Amsterdam have since confirmed that 2 people were in a taxi which crashed into the De Boelelaan area of the city.

It is thought that the player is facing the prospect of a substantial lay-off, however, as he has been reported to have suffered fractured ribs. If so, the striker could be facing at least 6 weeks in another huge set-back for City manager Pep Guardiola. 

A source close to Aguero has said the player is ‘Okay’, and we wish him strength and speedy recovery.

Chelsea star Tiemoue Bakayoko, 23, was driving along Blundel Lane near the Cobham facility at around 3.30pm when the crash happened on Thursday afternoon- escaping serious injury.

Police arrived at the scene at 4.40pm and have confirmed that luckily, no other vehicle was involved in the incident. Press pictures reveal the extent of the damage to Bakayoko’s vehicle, with the windscreen shattered and the roof caved in, which was caused when he veered off the road on Blundel Lane near the Blue’s Cobham training base.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time this season that there has been a car accident involving the Blues, as last month, a young fan was run over as he tried to collect autographs outside Cobham training centre.

What To Do In A Terror Attack

The UK terrorism threat level is currently at ‘critical’, meaning an attack is imminent. As members of the public, you will have naturally become more vigilant; it’s imperative that this remains, with an increased awareness of what is going on around you.

When travelling to and from work, consider if it is sensible to wear a uniform or company branding. Although the threat isn’t currently suspected to be directed at specific targets, we must take all reasonable measures to ensure personal safety.

Social media can be a useful way of communicating news, but please, ensure that your security settings are set to private and that you are mindful of what information you are sharing.

The following is based on Government advice.

“RUN. HIDE. TELL.”

Run.

Escape if you can.

Can you get away without exposing yourself to greater danger? This is better than surrender or negotiating.

Is there a safe route?

If it is safe, RUN. If it’s not…

HIDE.

Find cover from gunfire (which can get through glass, brick, wood and metal).

If you can see an attacker, they may be able to see you. Lock in/barricade yourself if possible.

Don’t hide by doors if possible. Stay aware of your exits. Be quiet, silence your phone and turn off vibrate.

TELL.

Call 999 if possible.

If you can’t speak or make noise, wait and listen for the instructions that will be given to you.

Stop other people from entering the area, if it is safe to do so.

How to react to an armed police response:

POLICE OFFICERS MIGHT…

  • Point guns at you.
  • Treat you firmly. Question you. Be unable to distinguish you from an attacker.
  • Move you from your location.

Remain calm and trust that the officers are there to enhance your safety.

If you ever see a suspicious item…

Do not touch. Try to identify an owner nearby.

Don’t be embarrassed about reporting it. Do not assume that anyone else will report it.

Move away and contact nearby staff, security or 999 if they’re not available.

Given the horrific events of this morning’s rush hour, which has sent shock waves through the country, there may be an increased police and security presence in densely populated areas, to provide reassurance to the public; it is essential that we all play our part.
