Aguero also spoke recently about the daunting wait to find out whether or not he would have to retire from football after being substituted with chest pains against Deportivo Alaves in October.
“The first 15 days [after the Alaves match] I had a terrible time,” he said on his Twitch channel. “When it happened, I thought it was nothing and that I was going to be fine, but when I arrived in the hospital and they left me in a small room alone with a lot of monitors around me.”
“I realised something was bad. And after two days hospitalised, I started to become nervous.” Aguero would announce his retirement from football in November 2021, around a month after first being diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia.

The arrhythmia that Aguero suffered has caused him to not train with his teammates, as the Barcelona doctors revealed that there would be an initial three-month in which they would monitor his progress.
During Barcelona’s home game against Alaves in November, summer signing Sergio Aguero was forced off 42 minutes into his first home start for the club last due to breathing difficulties. The former Manchester City star was in great discomfort by the end of the first half, he threw himself to the ground after clashing with an Alaves player. The club officials rushed the Argentine to the hospital as soon as possible.
Sergio Aguero was taken to hospital for tests after suffering “chest discomfort” as Barcelona drew against Alaves in their first match since the sacking of Ronald Koeman.
