What happened Aguero?
- Thread starter golden_blunder
- Start date
From how I read the post, it is three months of monitoring and not even when they expect him to play again. I'd imagine that means he can't train much (if at all.) That would consequently mean more like 4 months minimum until he can play again if all goes well (hopefully it does.)
Shame seems like to be a lovely lad
Hope he gets well soon as I enjoy seeing him play ( his affiliation notwithstanding)

Yeah, sure, I'd say four is optimistic actually and next thing you know it's business end of the season.
The upside is Barca will not be in any sort of business or else you could pretty much write off the entire season.
Even if all goes well it will be tight for a Qatar callup, and whatever the outcome I'd expect him to retire by next Christmas. It's just not worth the risk really.
Would have thought Barca did thorough medicals when they signed him?
Hopefully he plays again but possible his Barca career will be 5 games and one goal... probably not what they were hoping to get for 8 million in wages.
Fingers crossed he is OK and that his health is put first
Fortunately, this seems under control and aptly monitored now. Of course we are not going to know anything in depth about the causes, but in case the doctors find them to be Covid-related (illness, long symptoms, vaccine), I think the public interest in saying a bit more may prevail?
How has he managed to destroy the Premier League with an underlying heart problem? 
Anyway, jokes about Pep's PEDS wearing off aside, get well soon.

Anyone know if he was vaccinated? It is one of the reported side effects
Would make it the most high profile case. If that was an actual factor, I think they'd do everything possible to keep it under wraps.
Wish him a full and speedy recovery. Awful to hear.
If he did get the vaccine must have been risk evaluated.
If it’s irregular heartbeats it’s possible he may get an ablation and be fine again
I think this is the kind of surgery Kingsley Coman had mid-september. He's was out for roughly a month and is back on the pitch again.
Let's hope it's nothing severe.
Not his biggest fan, far from it, but wishing the lad a speedy recovery
David Luiz disagrees...
Not sure but Aguero tested positive for covid in January and was out for four weeks and then again in April and missed another four weeks so if he was vaccinated it had to happen after COPA, I think.
May be Atrial Fibrillation or irregular heartbeat. I suffer from this. My heart rate once went up to over 150 bpm whilst I was at the doctors surgery (pre-covid). The doc was shocked, but it settled down to below 90 after twenty seconds or so. The symptoms are exactly as described by Aguero. It’s unpleasant and can be controlled by drugs. I can’t see how he can play football if this is what he has.
Does it happen anytime or are there aggravating factors ? Stress, exercise ?
If it's related to what Dr Brugada himself is famous for, and named after, then Kun is so lucky to have already had a great career. It's not usually picked up in medicals. And tends to show up in adulthood. Basically isn't there until it suddenly manifests. Hard to see him carrying on if it's that. Might need a similar device to Eriksen. All speculation of course, but hearing Dr Brugada's name is so very suggestive.
Any update?
interesting that post above as many of my own symptoms didn’t develop till adulthood, such is the way in our family with this genetic abnormality

Surely their insurance will kick in for something like this.
Potentially... though I expect the insurers will want to check the medicals done prior to the transfer to see if they have a way out of paying anything
I wish all the best for him, at Leicester we had a player almost die of a heart attack after collapsing on the field in his 20s.
Late response but I recently got diagnosed with arterial fibrillation which explained a number of previous incidents down the years. There’s nothing that particularly triggers it. First time I experienced it was after van Persies winner at the etihad in 2013, and it lasted a day. Had it after having a couple of gin and tonics a few years back then another one started whilst I was asleep. Then the most recent one (which lasted fecking days) was after completing a bench press. The cardiologist said it can be very random and isn’t related to genetics or anything and even said I can carry on drinking, working out etc. But yeah it can be managed with medicine or minor surgery. If that’s what Agueros has he should be able to play on.
I don’t personally think it is because it doesn’t take months to diagnose and suggesting early retirement wouldn’t be talked about
It said his heart was racing much faster than but should have been - many reasons for that
Poor lad. This on top on numerous injuries which hampered his career. Wish him a speedy recovery. This is serious stuff we're talking about, life threatening.
Or maybe not retiring just yet:

The more interesting part of this article, one of the womens' team Caroline Graham Hansen has a problem too, hopefully ok:

just read the news about retirement. Feel bad for him
Glad he's alive and that the situation appears to be under control, but still, very sad news.
So sad
It’s sad but at least he was at the tail end of his career. Best of luck to him.
Thats a shame, but you have to prioritize your own health.
Regardless, his career speaks for itself, one of the best strikers the EPL has seen, certainly fulfilled his potential.

It's fine if he has to never play again as long as he recovers and can have a normal life. Fantastic striker and seemed like a nice bloke too.
Yes, a great player. Sad news but as others have said, better that he does his best to be healthy for the rest of his life rather than risking anything for football. Especially when he’s already achieved so much.
He gave us the worst moment in our PL history, but you’d struggle to find a United fan who dislikes him. Says it all really, class act and what a player. Such a shame he may have to cut his career short.
David Luiz might disagree.
Not to jump on his footballing grave or anything, but he does have a dark streak too him as well.
Apparently, he's going to announce his retirement tomorrow.
Shame. It’s obviously more serious than speculation
Wonderful player and a shame it was for City. I think we'll look back on him like Henry, a great player who was always a thorn in our side
