After complaining of chest problems, Sergio Aguero was rushed to the hospital.
The Spanish club said that Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero had been ruled out for three months to ensure a cardiac examination. After complaining of chest problems and being rushed to hospital during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Alaves in La Liga, the Argentine international got medical help on the pitch.
According to Barca, he will be gone for a long time. “Dr Josep Brugada has exposed Aguero to a diagnostic and therapeutic treatment,” Barcelona announced in a statement.
“He is unavailable for selection, and the success of his therapy will be assessed over the following three months to determine his recovery process.” After starting the season with a calf injury, he has made five appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal.
“I spoke with him, and he appeared to be in good spirits. He’s limited to his room, but he appears to be in good spirits considering the circumstances,” Barca caretaker manager Sergi Barjuan said earlier on Monday. In July, the 33-year-old left Manchester City on a free move to Barcelona.
Who is Sergio Aguero?
Sergio Busquets Burgos, born July 16, 1988, is a Spanish professional footballer who captains Barcelona and plays at the midfielder position in the Spanish national team. He is regarded as one of the finest defensive midfielders of all time and a deep-lying playmaker capable of controlling the game with short and controlled passes.
He joined Barcelona’s first squad in July 2008 and has since made over 600 appearances for the club. In 2008–09 and 2014–15, he was a member of the teams who won the triple of La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League.
He debuted for Spain at the senior level in April 2009 and has since made over 130 appearances for the national team. He played in two World Cups and a few European Championships, helping his country win the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012. He also appeared in two further World Cups and as many European Championships.
Busquets began his football career with CD Badia del Vallès in Sabadell, Catalonia, before moving to CEF Barberà Andaluca, Lleida, and UFB Jà bac Terrassa before joining Barcelona’s junior divisions in 2005.
In the second season, he scored seven goals in 26 games for the Juvenil A squad, and two years later, he was moved to the B team under Pep Guardiola, where he helped them gain promotion to the third level. He made his first-team debut the following season, coming in as a substitute in the Copa Catalunya.
On September 13, 2008, Busquets made his La Liga debut, playing 90 minutes in a 1–1 home tie with Racing Santander. He scored the second goal in the 2008–09 UEFA Champions League match against Basel at St. Jakob-Park on October 22, 2008, in a 5–0 group stage triumph; in early December, he scored his second goal with Barça in the competition, netting in the 83rd minute of a 2–3 home loss against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Busquets signed a contract extension until 2013 on December 22, 2008, with an €80 million buyout clause. In a 2–0 home win against Athletic Bilbao on March 7, 2009, he scored his first league goal.
Busquets scored the first goal in a 3–0 triumph over Las Palmas on October 1, 2017, at the Camp Nou, played behind closed doors due to the ongoing Catalan independence vote. He signed a new deal until June 2024, a year later, which upped his buyout clause from €200 million to €500 million.
He made his 500th appearance for Barcelona against Atlético Madrid on November 24 and his 100th Champions League appearance on December 11, in a 1–1 group stage home tie against Tottenham Hotspur.
Busquets earned his 600th appearance for Barcelona in a 4–0 win against Granada at the Los Cármenes on January 9, 2021. Only Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi have played more games than him in the club’s history. After Lionel Messi left for Paris Saint-Germain FC in August, he was named club captain.
Sergio Aguero will also miss Argentina’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil.
Social media has been flooded with f support messages from his club teammates. Pedri, a midfielder, uploaded an Instagram photo of Aguero with the caption, “We are with you Kun Aguero.” “Come on Kuni,” captain Sergio Busquets wrote in the meanwhile.
Barcelona’s next match is against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League, as they want to bounce back after two 3-0 group-stage losses to Bayern Munich and Benfica in September. The team will be without defender Gerard Pique due to his calf injury, who has not won in three games in all competitions.
