No sooner had the sports community in the world might easy forget when Christian Eriksen , Inter Milan midfielder- an incredibly fit soccer player – went into cardiac arrest at the European championships in June, as now fans woke up to the sad news of the forced retirement of Argentine star Sergio Aguero, the Barcelona striker. Sport, the Spanish newspaper confirmed that the Argentine Sergio Aguero, the Barcelona striker, might threaten to retire from football soon, due to his serious injury.
Christian Eriksen will be allowed to leave Inter Milan in the hope of restarting his career after being told he cannot play in Italy due to having an implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) fitted.
The Danish midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest while playing for his country against Finland at Euro 2020 earlier this year.Following the incident, which saw him needing a defibrillator on the pitch, Eriksen underwent surgery to fit the ICD.
An ICD is a type of pacemaker which shocks the heart to restore rhythm if a person has a cardiac arrest.It was all too reminiscent of the frightening scenes we saw at Euro 2020 with Christian Eriksen, and Aguero has been diagnosed with a cardiac arrhythmia after he was forced off the pitch with chest pains and a shortness of breath on Saturday.
He was out of immediate danger once he reached the ambulance and was treated further at a local hospital, although it's difficult to predict what this means for his future in the sport.
Barcelona announced that Aguero suffers from an irregular heartbeat, and will initially be out of the pitch for three months.The newspaper continued: "Aguero suffers from a treacherous injury, with unsafe consequences, so the possibility of his retirement from football is not excluded.
