Sergio Aguero will report back for training with Manchester City on Thursday - after fainting while on international duty with Argentina.

Aguero suffered a dizzy spell at half-time in Argentina's 4-2 friendly defeat to Nigeria in Krasnodar on Tuesday and failed to emerge for the second-half.

City's all-time leading goalscorer was checked out by medical staff and cleared to fly back to Manchester ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Leicester.

Aguero, who has 10 goals in 12 games for City this season, will be assessed by the club's medical staff tomorrow before a decision is made over whether he will train with the squad.

"He fainted and was therefore transferred to carry out routine checks just as a precaution," said Argentina's official Twitter said after Tuesday night's match.

He was later pictured walking out of the stadium.

Earlier today, Manchester City provided an update on his condition and told supporters that he has been cleared by doctors to return to Manchester.
