Sergio Aguero\u00a0is set to announce his retirement from football in a \u2018special ceremony on Wednesda\u2019 after grappling with\u00a0heart problems.<\/p>\n

Aguero was discovered with cardiac arrhythmia\u00a0after encountering chest pains while playing for Barcelona last month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Marca, he was initially told to rest for quarter of months, but is now pondering to step down from football permanently at just 33 years old.<\/p>\n

Aguero was recruited by Barcelona on a free transfer last summer from Manchester City and was making his debut for his new club facing\u00a0Alaves when he had\u00a0chest pains.<\/p>\n

The striker needed on-pitch medical attention shortly prior half-time having complained of blurred-vision.<\/p>\n

There was growing anguish in the stadium as Aguero laid down on the pitch, he had his hand placed on his chest.<\/p>\n

He spent the next two days in hospital and was\u00a0diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia following undergoing several tests.<\/p>\n

However, it has now been released that the seriousness of his condition was extreme than first thought.<\/p>\n

Consequently,\u00a0Aguero will declare his retirement from football at a special ceremony at the club on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Voicing after the incident took place,\u00a0Aguero thanked the Barcelona fans for the messages of support he had received.<\/p>\n

Aguero stated: \u201cHey Culers! Sending you all a big hug! Thank you for all the messages of support. Now it’s time to recover and wait for more news. Sending you all a big hug.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident also gave rise to an immense support at his former club Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Amongst those to send their well wishes was manager Pep Guardiola.\u00a0He stated: \u201cI spoke with his agent. It’s difficult news for him and his family. We wish him well from all our people. Our chairman, we wish him a safe recovery. Health and life more important than anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is in good hands, he takes care of himself, and we wish him a safe recovery and come back if he can \u2013 otherwise enjoy his life and what he has done. Be careful and be safe for the rest of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
