Sergio Aguero is one of the best soccer players. He has enjoyed a stellar career both on the international and domestic stages. Besides this, the player has won many collective and individual accolades. He was considered one of the most lethal strikers on the pitch, as he poached goals from anywhere.
Aguero has played for some notable clubs, including Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, and Barcelona. Even today, Aguero could have played and continued with his goal-scoring record. However, fate didn’t allow him to continue, as the player was forced to hang up his boots following his medical condition.
During his Barcelona days, the player was suddenly under obligation to get off the pitch against Alaves in October 2021. Following medical scans, it later emerged that he had been diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia. Hence, the doctors urged the center forward to retire to prevent further risk. Today, Aguero is in great shape and is usually seen cracking on live streams. However, his recent medical scare has resurfaced.

Fans shocked after seeing Sergio Aguero in distress
Recently, while live streaming on the popular platform, Twitch, the player suddenly suffered another heart problem. He was accompanied by the famous Spanish streamer, Ibai Llanos. It was at that moment that the striker started clutching his chest. Having noticed the movement, Llanos asked, “What’s up, man?”
Aguero then replied, “I think… I think… I just had a mini-arrhythmia.” Llanos further insisted that he needs medical attention. However, the 34-year-old replied, “No, no. Because I have a chip and the famous chip will detect it and send a signal.” This moment was, of course, live, and the clip went viral, thus leaving fans in distress.
It’s so sad and heartbreaking to see that he struggles with it especially seeing how abruptly his career ended. One of all the time greats! I wish he gets better and better everyday

The heart problems in soccer players continue
Aguero isn’t the only lad to get familiar with heart problems. There have been instances where other stars have gone through such a predicament. Many might remember Christian Eriksen’s unfortunate incident when he suddenly collapsed on the pitch during the clash between Denmark and Finland at Euro 2020. However, the midfielder is now playing brilliantly after taking a long sabbatical.

Besides this, Lilian Thuram, Sami Khedira, Dani Carvajal, Iker Casillas, and Nwankwo Kanu are a few names of those who have been affected by such a condition. There have been many instances where soccer has lost a few players to such causes.
Indeed, it is a state of worry, but staying cautious and working on fitness and health would be helpful for not only the athletes but everyone.
