Sergio Aguero has made a return to sport after his heart problems with the Man City legend posting a video of himself playing tennis.
The former Barcelona striker was forced to retire from football in December 2021 just months after joining the club due to chest pains.
The iconic forward was showing off his skills on a clay court and looked like a seasoned pro after producing a series of forehand and backhand strokes.
Inevitably, once the rally ended Aguero came away with a smile on his face having won the point.
The former Atletico Madrid striker posted the clip and added the caption ‘Entrenado’ that translates to ‘training’ hinting he’s looking to improve his skills on the tennis court.
In the comment section, Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea wrote: ‘Nalbandian’ in reference to the former Argentinian world number three and Wimbledon finalist, David Nalbandian.
It isn’t the first time the Man City legend has picked up a tennis racket either.
He rallied with compatriot Juan Martin del Potro at the ATP World Tour Finals in 2012 at the O2 Arena.
Aguero was attending his match as a spectator and was invited to have a game with Del Potro, which didn’t last very long when he hilariously sent his forehand shot into orbit.
Whilst it was extremely sad to see the five-time Premier League champion retire prematurely, fans will be glad to see him looking fit and healthy and based on the Instagram video, still extremely competitive.
Novak Djokovic should watch out though because it might only be a matter of time before Aguero is competing with him at Grand Slam tournaments.
