Former Barcelona star Sergio Aguero will make a shock return to football in 2023.
The former Manchester City forward was forced to retire in 2021, following medical advice, just five games into his Camp Nou career.
Aguero was withdrawn in Barcelona’s clash with Alaves in October 2021, after complaining of chest discomfort and breathing issues, during the game.
After a period away from the game, Aguero joined the Argentina squad in their wild 2022 World Cup celebrations last month, and hinted at a possible return to the pitch.

Noche Amarilla is a traditional friendly game played against different sides with this year’s tie featuring Orense on January 28.
“I am looking forward to Noche Amarilla, to have fun, and have a good time with the fans of Barcelona S.C,” he said.
“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.”
