Aguero suffered a stroke and was hospitalized during the Argentina - Nigeria match

Striker Sergio Aguero was rushed to hospital after suffering a stroke during the half-time of the Argentina-Nigeria friendly.

The Man City striker had an impressive start when he scored to make it 2-0 in the 36th minute, making him the third best scorer in the history of the Argentina national team.

At halftime, Aguero suddenly had health problems and was forced to leave the FK stadium in Krasnodar (Russia) to be hospitalized.

TyC Sports later announced that the 29-year-old striker had regained consciousness and was undergoing further tests in hospital. On the pitch, coach Jorge Sampaoli brought Dario Benedetto on to replace him in the second half.

After the match, representatives of Man City FC and Argentina national team added: "Doctors have confirmed that Sergio Aguero will return to Manchester as planned after suffering a concussion in Argentina's friendly match in Krasnodar."

“Sergio never lost consciousness and was taken to hospital mainly to ensure he was in good health. He will be assessed by the club’s medical team ahead of the Premier League trip to Leicester at the weekend.

Back to the match in Krasnodar. Without Aguero, it seems that the fighting spirit of the Argentina players has also plummeted. They let Nigeria score 3 goals in the second half, after conceding 1 goal in the first half and lost 2-4.
