The former Manchester City star who has two-year contract with Barcelona made his first debut in mid-October with four appearances in La Liga, one in the Champions League, scoring only a goal for his side and now out for at least three weeks.

The 33-year-old Argentine forward joined Barca in a free transfer in the summer, but missed the first two months of the season with a calf injury.

The striker was taken to hospital after complaining of chest discomfort around 40 minutes in Barcelona’s La Liga clash against Alaves and was replaced before half time by Philippe Coutinho on Saturday.

The former Atletico Madrid star has been subjected to a diagnostic and therapeutic process by Dr. Josep Brugada. He is unavailable for selection and during the next three months the effectiveness of treatment will be evaluated in order to determine his recovery process.

The ex-Manchester City star appeared to have trouble breathing and pointed to his chest. He was assessed by the medical team and was then taken off the field before leaving the stadium in an ambulance.

Aguero was taken away. I have asked him. He told me he was a little dizzy,” interim head coach Sergi Barjuan said.
“I have found out now that they have taken him to the hospital to see what he really has. I do not know any more.”
