Official: Barça communicates that Agüero for at least three months

Barcelona announced at 8:30 p.m. on Monday that Sergio Kun Agüero, 33, “has undergone a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure by Dr. Josep Brugada. It is low and during the next three months the effectiveness of the treatment will be evaluated to determine his recovery process. “ The brief statement makes it clear that the player will stop any physical activity until February and only then, and if that treatment goes well, would he train with the team again. A tough diagnosis for the Argentine, who signed a contract for two seasons and sees his dream of playing in the World Cup threatened, and who knows whether to extend his sports career.

“Yesterday I spoke with Kun, he was hanging me out with him. He is locked in his room, but calm.” In the absence of official statements since Saturday night, when he was transferred to the hospital for, according to the club’s official note, suffering an “episode of chest discomfort”, Sergi Barjuan’s phrase had swept the most institutional information since then in the Barça that, finally, has emitted a statement that leaves in the air the capacity of Agüero to return to play football.

Kun’s episode against Alavés, when he had to stop and ended up hospitalized, had not been isolated, but had been repeated sometime in his career. That alarmed the doctors, who once observed the player’s history and the symptoms of the episode last Saturday, have decided to stop it for three months.

Minutes after issuing the official statement announcing Agüero’s withdrawal period, Barcelona also published a tweet to encourage the Argentine player. It was a terse “# ForçaKun”.
