“If I try to play football now, I run out of breath.”
Sergio Aguero has revealed that he cannot play football without struggling to breathe and wonders if he will ever be able to sprint again.
The former Manchester City striker was forced to retire last year due to ongoing heart problems, which were detected after he was substituted with chest pains in his last Barcelona match on October 30 against Alaves.
After undergoing cardiological tests, the club confirmed the cause was a heart arrhythmia.
Sergio Aguero addresses his heart issues.
Speaking about his general health on a Twitch stream, the 33-year-old admitted that he is unable to sprint without running out of breath, adding that he believes his heart ‘doesn’t work properly.’
“If I try to play football now, I run out of breath. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to sprint again,” Aguero remarked.
“I just feel like my heart doesn’t work properly.”
“I did everything possible to have hope.”
Back in December, when announcing his retirement, Aguero stated, “It is a very difficult moment. The decision I have made I have taken for my health, that is the main reason, because of the problem that I had a month-and-a-half ago.”
