will be sidelined for six weeks as a result of the injuries he suffered in a car crash in Amsterdam, according to Argentina national team doctor Donato Villani.
It had been thought the prolific Manchester City forward would be out for between two and four weeks after breaking a rib in the road accident last Thursday.
That would have ruled the 29-year-old out of Argentina's final two World Cup qualifiers against Peru and Ecuador, but could have seen him in contention for City's Premier League match at home to Stoke on October 14.
