'I've Already Started Training': Aguero To Play For Barcelona This Month

Sergio Aguero will come out of retirement to play a game for Barcelona in January, the forward has confirmed.

However, he's not going to play for the Barcelona we know — the Argentine will feature for an Ecuadorian side Barcelona de Guayaquil, also known as Barcelona SC.

The forward will play in Barcelona SC's friendly against Orense on January 28.

“I am looking forward to Noche Amarilla [the friendly], to have fun, and have a good time with the fans of Barcelona S.C,” Aguero said, as cited by Football Espana.

“I’ve had check-ups from the cardiologist, I am very well and I have already started training, so I will be able to play in the Noche Amarilla.

“I hope to have fun and feel the pitch again.”

The 34-year-old was forced to retire in 2021 after suffering chest pain in the Alaves game. He was diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia.

Barcelona de Guayaquil are named that way because it was founded by a Barca fan.

The veteran striker could have been handy to the Catalan Barcelona, too, considering we're without Lewandowski for the next few games.
