Sergio Aguero rushed to hospital after car crash in Netherlands

Manchester City star striker Sergio Aguero was rushed to hospital after being injured in a car accident in the Netherlands.

The incident took place when the 29-year-old was returning from a concert in Amsterdam featuring Colombian singer Maluma.

He was travelling to the airport to fly back to Manchester when his taxi was involved in an accident leaving the Argentinian with suspected broken ribs.

Aguero, who was reportedly wearing his seat belt, suffered broken ribs after the taxi carrying the City star apparently crashed into a pole.

City defender, who has been in fine form at the start of the 2017-18 campaign, is likely to be ruled out for an extended period of time, goal.com reported.

Aguero, who has scored seven goals in eight appearances he made in all competitions so far, is expected to miss a number of City's Premier League and Champions League games if the striker is ruled out of action for an extended period.

He is also likely to miss Argentina's crucial final two World Cup qualifiers against Peru and Ecuador.

Air France buys 31% stake in British carrier Virgin Atlantic

Air France has taken a big piece of Britain's second-biggest long-haul airline, Virgin Atlantic.

According to The Independent, the French airline, which also owns KLM of the Netherlands, is to buy a 31 per cent stake in Virgin Atlantic for 220m GBP.

It leaves the Virgin Group with just one-fifth of the airline's equity. Delta will keep a 49 percent stake in Virgin Atlantic.

The airline founded by Sir Richard Branson in 1984 will retain its identity and independence as a British carrier with a UK operating certificate.

Talking about the deal, Sir Richard said, "This is a fantastic opportunity to extend our network and create a stronger customer champion, as well as being extremely beneficial to our people and the Virgin Atlantic brand that our customers love dearly."

The Virgin Atlantic president also wrote a letter to his staff, which read, "We've had to endure a consistently uneven playing field with British Airways keeping a stranglehold on Heathrow slots, enabling it to feed its long-haul operation from a myriad of short-haul flights across the UK and Europe."

Adding, "And now we have Brexit, which before it's even happened, has had a negative effect on the financial performance of both our holiday company and the airline, principally due to the collapse in the value of the pound."
