MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero was hospitalized with a suspected broken rib after being involved in a car accident in the Netherlands, two days before his team’s biggest Premier League game of the season. “The first impression is he has broken the rib,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. Asked if he had given Aguero permission to be in Amsterdam, Guardiola said: “I’m not the police.”“I want the players to be happy,” Guardiola added. Aguero lost his status as first-choice striker at City last season following the arrival of Gabriel Jesus. City leads the Premier League on goal difference after six games, with Chelsea three points behind in third place.
