The Manchester City striker was injured while spending a day off in the Dutch capital a fortnight ago when a taxi in which he was travelling crashed into a post.
Aguero’s injuries were expected to keep him out of action for between two and four weeks but the 29-year-old realises the accident could have left him in a much worse condition.
“When I got to the hospital I asked the doctor if I could play for City on the Saturday. He said, ‘I don’t believe so’,” said Aguero.
“I took a moment to think and realised it’s thanks to wearing a seat-belt that I’m able to talk about this at all.”
Argentina’s national-team doctor was quoted last week saying Aguero was likely to be sidelined for up to six weeks, but the player appears to have the initial prognosis in mind.

That means he could have a chance of returning to action in tomorrow’s Premier League clash against Stoke at the Etihad Stadium.
Aguero’s injuries forced him to miss Argentina’s crucial final World Cup qualifiers but Lionel Messi rescued a troubled campaign with a stunning hat-trick against Ecuador to secure a place in Russia next summer.
“I sent a message to Messi, a normal one, as I did to everybody,” Aguero said. “I congratulated him and thanked him for all he’s been doing for the national team.”
