Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero is set for an emotional return to football next month, two years after he was forced into an early retirement due to a heart condition.

Aguero sent the football world into panic back in October 2021 after he went down holding his chest while in action for Barcelona against Alaves.

According to Sky Sports, the legendary striker was forced to quit football altogether in December of that year with the advice of his doctors.

It is understood that the Argentine was ailing from an irregular heartbeat, leaving him with no choice but to bring his glittering football career to an abrupt halt.
