Former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero has admitted he wants to watch and play football but he’s too scared following his cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis.
He said, “Today I want to play, but I’m scared. I trained all my life to the maximum and in big competitions. I don’t watch football or the news, I don’t care what’s going on.

They told me I was lucky because I could easily have had a heart attack. Now it time to relax. I’m happy with what I’m doing.”
