Sergio Aguero may be forced to retire from professional football because of the heart condition that has forced the Barcelona star onto the sidelines for three months.
Catalunya Radio are reporting that the 33-year-old’s heart condition is “serious” and may mean he has to hang up his boots for good.
Aguero will continue to be monitored and will undergo further tests over the next few months but there is “pessimism” regarding his playing future.
The striker only arrived at Barcelona in the summer on a free transfer and had made just five appearances for the club before he was forced off with chest discomfort against Alaves.
