Man City legend Sergio Aguero agrees to make one-off return for former club after being forced to retire at Barcelona due to heart issue

<p>City legend Aguero decided to hang up his boots in December 2021 while at Barcelona after being diagnosed with a heart condition. But he is ready to come out of retirement to play in a competitive match for Argentine side Independiente against their arch-rivals Racing on Monday, reports <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/sergio-aguero-comeback-retirement-argentina-34953562" target="_blank"><em>The Mirror</em></a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In February, there was speculation over the 36-year-old making a return to professional football, but the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/is-sergio-aguero-coming-out-of-retirement-ex-barcelona-star-responds-independiente-transfer-rumours-carlos-tevez/blt70e4a6390a6d3ab4" target="_blank">ex-striker was quick to shoot down those rumours</a>. Speaking to reporters, he said: "It's totally a lie, I'm not going to train with Independiente. Sometimes things are invented. I reiterate that the cardiologist said that I am well and that it is important that I am in good health. But to return to training at the First Division level, I would need to undergo a lot of tests."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The former Argentina international briefly returned for a legends match last year, but his time on the pitch was limited as he dislocated his shoulder. Aguero also appeared in a seven-a-side soccer tournament in the US in June 2024.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Aguero's return to professional football will just be for this one-off game, as he is now looking forward to his new venture of club ownership. He is also monitoring the progress of his 16-year-old son Benjamin, who plies trade in Independiente's youth team. </p>
