Sergio Aguero has returned to light training with Manchester City less than two weeks after he broke a rib in a car crash.
The 29-year-old was involved in a road accident after attending a concert in Amsterdam during a day off, his taxi hitting a pillar on its way to the airport.
There had been fears that Aguero could miss up to six weeks, with Argentina team doctor Donato Villani suggesting that the striker was struggling to move.
However, Man City confirmed in a statement on their website that the forward underwent a light session with a club physio at the City Football Academy on Wednesday.
The statement added that Aguero is expected to gradually build up his fitness in the coming days as he edges towards a first-team return.
Aguero has scored six goals in six Premier League appearances for the Citizens to help them to the top of the table.
