Barcelona’s Aguero to stay in hospital for heart tests

Barcelona, Oct 31 (EFE).- Barcelona’s Argentine forward Sergio Agüero will remain in hospital for more cardiac tests after he suffered chest pains that forced him to come off the pitch during the home game against Alaves, Barca sources told Efe on Sunday.

Tests showed that Agüero suffered a cardiac arrhythmia during last night’s 1-1 home draw, and the doctors want to submit him to a complete cardiac examination to rule out any serious underlying problems.

Barcelona will have to do without Agüero against Dynamo Kyiv in a crucial Champions League match for the Catalans.

Barcelona will also be without Gerard Pique, who has undergone tests revealed he suffers a right calf strain, the Catalan club announced on Sunday. EFE
