Sergio Aguero set for sensational return to football after successful medical checks

Sergio Aguero has confirmed he will play his first football match in 15 months after "successful medical checks".

Aguero was forced off 42 minutes into his first home start for Barcelona against Alaves last season and was taken to hospital due to breathing difficulties. The former Manchester City star was visibly struggling towards the end of the first half, laying down after clashing with an opponent in the penalty area.

Aguero returned to his feet and was assisted off the pitch but was unable to return to training due to ongoing medical treatment and monitoring, before being diagnosed with a heart condition that ultimately led to him calling time on his career. It was the arrhythmia uncovered by the medical tests that forced Aguero to terminate his professional career, aged 33, and with just 165 minutes at Barca.
