SERGIO AGUERO has declared himself fit for Manchester City's clash with Leicester this Saturday.
The Argentine star collapsed during his country's clash with Nigeria this week. But he has eased fears over his health and confirmed on Twitter that he is raring to go for Pep Guardiola's table-toppers at the King Power Stadium.
Aguero said: "All the tests they run on me - just for caution - turn out well.
"So I'm set to go for Saturday's match. C'mon, City!"
The 29-year-old had to be rushed to hospital for tests after he fainted in the dressing room at half time during Argentina's clash against the African nation.
A drop in blood pressure was revealed as the cause, and he regained consciousness before leaving the stadium to be checked out.
Aguero was then given the green light to return to Manchester so his club could assess his condition further. Argentina's national team doctor Donato Villani said Aguero had encountered similar problems before when he was in his teens.
The incident came just over six weeks after he was involved in a car crash in Amsterdam in which he broke one of his ribs. The potential absence of City's club-record goalscorer was the last thing Guardiola needed to hear as he prepares for a busy period between Saturday and the beginning of January.
Ironically, Aguero had been in prime form for his country this week and put them 2-0 up against the Super Eagles - although they eventually lost 4-2.
The Argentina FA released a statement shortly after the game which said the ace "had a blackout and was taken (to hospital) so routine examinations were made only as a precaution." This latest episode caps off an eventful two months for the City legend.
After a quick recovery from his car accident he went on to become their all-time top goalscorer to help fire City eight points clear at the top of the Premier League after an unbeaten start to the campaign.
