Aguero faints

Argentina star Sergio Aguero was taken to a hospital for checks after he fainted during halftime of the friendly match against Nigeria. The Argentine Football Association said on its Twitter account that the Manchester City forward ‘‘had a blackout and was taken [to hospital] so routine examinations were made only as a precaution’’. The AFA gave no further details on the incident, which occurred after Aguero had scored in the first half. Three hours after the game, the AFA said Aguero was back at the hotel with his teammates and that: ‘‘The player is well’’.
