– Aguero, 33, made five appearances for Barca this season before being forced off in October’s draw against Alaves after experiencing chest pain.
– Following tests, it was announced that the discomfort had been caused by an arrhythmia — a broad term to describe any heart rhythm that is not completely normal — which would require treatment over a three-month period
– That three-month period runs until the end of January, but there has been increased speculation in recent weeks that Aguero would have to retire.
– Sources previously told in November that the forward would follow the guidance from doctors and was in no rush to make a decision on his future.
– Aguero broke onto the scene with Independiente in his homeland before joining Atletico Madrid. He later spent a decade with City, becoming the English club’s record goalscorer, before signing for Barca when his contract expired last June.
