'What a sight!' - Man City fans react as Sergio Aguero returns to football pitch

Shortly after he announced his retirement from professional football on 15 December, 2021, Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero said he was hopeful that one day he would be able to play football again.

That target seemed a little optimistic - Aguero was forced to retire due to a heart arrhythmia caused by a small scar near his heart, which caused him to collapse during a Barcelona game. However, Kun is doing his best to keep his dream alive.

On Wednesday evening Aguero was photographed playing five-a-side in Miami against a group of River Plate fans, donning some of his Barcelona training kit.

While Aguero's doctor did warn against the 34-year-old returning to high performance sport, this is an encouraging step and shows that he is in good health.

Aguero will be part of Argentina's coaching staff at the 2022 World Cup later this year, but who knows what his next role in professional football will be.

As you would expect, both City and general football fans alike are delighted to see Sergio back in action.
