Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero 'diagnosed with arrhythmia and will undergo full heart check' after feeling pain in his chest during his full home debut against Alaves

Barcelona forward Sergio Aguero will have to undergo a full heart check after being diagnosed with arrhythmia, according to reports in Spain.

The Argentine striker - who joined on a free transfer from Manchester City in the summer - felt pain in his chest after jumping for the ball up against Alaves defender Victor Laguardia in the first half of their 1-1 draw on Saturday night.

The 33-year-old was taken straight to hospital in an ambulance to receive a medical check-up after being replaced by Philippe Coutinho three minutes before half-time.
