“Agüero is not available to the team,” said FC Barcelona, ”in the next three months the effectiveness of the treatment will be assessed in order to determine his further recovery process.”
Agüero went down dazed a few moments after an aerial duel last Saturday in the game against Deportivo Alaves (1: 1) in the first half. He was treated for a few minutes and then led off the field. The first heart examinations in the hospital followed immediately. The striker moved from Manchester City to Barcelona last summer.
