Aguero says he’s ‘always positive’ despite retirement rumours

Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero has said he is “always positive” after reports claimed he was considering retirement.

The Argentina forward, 33, was taken to hospital after suffering chest pains against Alaves last month.

Barca later announced he will not play for three months while he receives treatment and his health is monitored.

“Given the rumours, I tell them that I am following the indications of the club’s doctors,” Aguero said on social media.

“I’m doing tests and treatment and seeing my progress within 90 days. Always positive.”

Aguero became Manchester City’s all-time leading scorer before joining Barcelona on a free transfer in July.

After starting the season with a calf problem, he made his debut last month and has scored once in five appearances for the Catalan club.
