Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero could be forced to retire from football altogether following a negative result on his heart examination, according to Catalunya Radio. Earlier, he was brought off 42 minutes in a game with Alaves after chest complaints and was taken to the hospital for cardiological evaluation.
According to Catalunya Radio, Sergio Aguero could consider retiring from football after the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmia is believed to be more complex than anticipated. The above-mentioned source stated that Aguero’s current condition cannot go down well with playing competitive sports. However, the decision will be taken based on the evaluation of his condition over the next few months.
Barcelona issued a statement following the incident that read: “The player Kun Agüero has undergone a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure by Dr. Josep Brugada. He is out and for the next three months. The effectiveness of the treatment will be evaluated to determine his recovery process.”
Aguero said after he was taken to hospital: “I am well and in good spirits to face the recovery process. I want to thank you all for so many messages of support and love that make my heart stronger today.”
