Agüero, at least three months off

BARCELONA – Sergio Aguero He will remain out, at least, for the next three months after completing the medical examination to which he was subjected in the hospital after suffering an arrhythmia during the game between Barcelona and Alavés last Saturday at the Camp Nou.

The Barça club did not want to speculate on the sporting future of the Argentine striker, rejecting the possibility of talking about his being forced to retire and limiting the news to the fact that he will not be available, at least, until February, At this point, Agüero will not carry out any physical activity, which is a serious blow to both the footballer and the club, which, for the moment, does not immediately consider occupying his file arguing a long-term absence.

Barça briefly reported the player’s withdrawal through a statement in which he stated that ‘The first team player Kun Agüero has undergone a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure by Dr. Josep Brugada. It is low and during the next three months the effectiveness of the treatment will be evaluated to determine his recovery process’ without specifying if after this time, already in February, he will be able to return to the activity with the staff.

“He is calm. Yesterday I spoke with him and he is locked in his room but calm,” said Sergi Barjuan at the press conference prior to the Champions League match in Kiev, who could only count on the player’s contest during the first 40 minutes of the match against Alavés, until he was substituted.

In the club it was resolved that in the medical examination that the footballer underwent in May, prior to his signing from Manchester City, he was not diagnosed with any cardiovascular problem and that throughout his professional career he had overcome all the exams without further setbacks.

Injured in the calf of the right leg at the beginning of August and out of action for more than two months, Agüero did not make his debut for Barça until October 17, playing the last four minutes against Valencia. From there he chained two matches as a substitute against Dynamo (17 minutes) and Real Madrid (16) before completing his first match in Madrid against Rayo Vallecano. In what was his sixth game and second as a starter, against Alavés, Kun suffered that arrhythmia that, from the outset, will leave him out of all activity for three months and that, it is understood, would be the best news right now.
