Sergio Aguero trained with Manchester City on Thursday just two weeks after breaking his rib in a car crash in Amsterdam

Sergio Aguero says he is "ready" having completed full training with Manchester City on Thursday just two weeks after breaking his rib in a car crash.

The 29-year-old Argentine was in involved in the accident in Amsterdam on his day off last month when he had been attending a music concert, and had initially been ruled out for a month.

But after taking part in light training back at City earlier this week, Aguero posted pictures of himself back in action with the message "I am ready".

Following criticism over his decision to go abroad in the days building up to City's important fixture against Chelsea, Aguero defended his actions and revealed he could return to the first team against Stoke City this weekend at the Etihad.

"I still do not know if I am going to play on Saturday," Aguero told TyC Sports. "I trained normally, but without the group."

Aguero added: "When a player has a free day at Manchester City, most of the players go to London, others to Italy, some to Spain.

"I was lucky that I know the agent of Maluma [a Colombian singer], he invited me and I went. I had almost two days off and going to the airport was when I had that accident.
