What’s the latest on Aguero’s health?

After chest pain forced him off in the 1-1 draw against Alaves on October 30, ‘Kun’ was admitted to hospital. Tests later diagnosed him with cardiac arrhythmia – an irregular heartbeat problem. He previously suffered from it at the start of his football career.

The treatment period is expected to run for three months until the end of January, but there has been increased speculation over Aguero’s long-term future in the game.

Despite originally intending to follow the doctor’s guidelines and not rush into a decision, it appears the striker may have reconsidered. He will reveal everything on Wednesday.

Aguero has made four La Liga appearances for Barcelona this season after joining the club in the summer on a free transfer from Manchester City.
