Sergio Aguero’s heart problems have left him wondering about his physical status after revealing sprinting issues.
The Manchester City legend and former Barcelona striker was sadly forced to retire in December 2021, aged 33, after being diagnosed with a cardiac arrhythmia — an irregular heartbeat.
After joining the Catalonians in the 2021 summer transfer window, and then recovering from a calf injury, hopes had been high about the impact the Argentine was going to have for Barca.
Sadly, after the 41st minute of his fourth LaLiga game for the club, Aguero had to be taken to hospital after suffering chest pains.
Aguero revealed the issues with his heart means he may have to limit his physical capabilities.
Speaking on streaming platform Twitch, the former Atletico Madrid forward said: “If I try to play football now, I run out of breath.
“Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to sprint again.
“I just feel like my heart doesn’t work properly.”
