What happened Aguero?

Hopefully just short of fitness
Well I hope; nothing.
Hopefully just fat and out of shape
Heartbeat at a much faster rate than normal, left the Camp Nou in an ambulance. Barca say he’s fine.
Daily Star ffs. Hopefully he’s all good though.
By the looks of it, too many pies.
Pure speculation but the publicly reported symptoms fit Myocarditis ? Breathing difficulties, rapid heart rate.
Hopefully he's okay, even if he's responsible for my worst footballing memory ever.
Probably just had a panic attack when he realised he’s playing for Barca and Depay and Dest are flanking him.

Playing for a real football club for the first time in about 10 years shocked him a bit.
Seriously though, hopefully he's okay.

There's no space for silly jokes in a thread like this. There are other threads for that.
Hope he's alright which seems to be the case.

I think Barca’s training sessions aren’t very strenuous so I imagine he has lost a lot of fitness due to injury and once he came back to training it was still nowhere near close enough to match fitness.
I think there may be more to this story. Professional athletes don’t just become breathless for no reason. I think they’ll either find a heart issue or he will be covid positive
Hope he is ok.
Hopefully it’s nothing serious
Hopefully he's ok.
Maybe I'm missing a lame joke but they don't call ambulances if you're a bit overweight and not fit enough to play a football match.

Just a few prats making light of what could potentially be more serious
Yea but then we get Anderson whom had to receive oxygen on the bench.
I said “professional”
Touché
Arrhythmia apparently
Man, hope he’s ok.
There seems to be an increase in this within top level football… it’s not good.

Hope he’s ok. Barca are having such a shit year all around.
We will see more and more of it too. The long term effects of microdosing Erythropoietin haven't been fully explored.
Hope he is ok. Nothing serious.
What is that, a performance enhancer?
Do you think that this type of thing is why we’re seeing these instances?
I feel like I read this somewhere in the past few years — owing to the ages of key players like Busquets, Pique, Alba, Messi etc. their training sessions were very light, which was compounding on the injury prone players like Dembele for the shock to the body once in actual matches
If that’s official there could be a multitude of reasons why
What makes you so sure that this could be at play in this instance?
Aguero, apparently, has an issue with his heart when he was 12 years old. He was diagnosed with arrhythmia back then, according to a few sources like ‘Sport’
Why do you think that particular drug is in widespread usage in the sport?
I don't really want to derail the thread, especially with potentially harmful and personal speculation, and wasn't commenting on this particular case. I just believe, personally, whether or not there's any merit in it - that there will be an increased number of these sorts of cases in football in the future, given what footballers in general are put through on a weekly/daily basis and given the potential for clubs (particularly in lax states) to try to maximise the performance of their players through any means necessary.

So not his fitness then as was alluded to earlier in this thread. They’ve obviously discovered an issue that could mean big problems for him if not treated correctly hence not being available for selection for 3 months; a big chunk of time for a 33’year old at a new club
So the rumours are irregular heartbeat that he had when he was young too? Hope he gets better.
3 months out aged 33 with cardiac issues is retirement material.
Wouldn't be surprised if he wants to keep going until the WC with Argentina having a good chance in it. Qatar isn't exactly the ideal place to test treatment effectiveness though. May get selected to just go hang around, experience, team spirit and all that, but unlikely to get anywhere near kicking a ball.
Never want to hear or see that stuff. Good nothing worse happened.
Yh there was an interview with Messi in recent time (maybe 2-3 seasons ago) where he said the last coach who worked them hard was Enrique and only after he' gone did they realise how good the training was (or something like that)
