Sergio Agüero’s Shoulder Injury: What Happened and How He’s Recovering

Kun Aguero showed how his shoulder looked

Sergio Agüero, former forward and icon of Independiente and the Argentine National Team, suffered an injury to his left shoulder during Independiente’s Night of the King, a tribute event organized by the Avellaneda club last Saturday. The attacker, who retired from professional football at the end of 2021 due to a heart condition, had to leave the field 13 minutes into the match after a hand-to-hand encounter with Juan Eluchans.

After undergoing the relevant studies, the former Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid of Spain learned the extent of his injury. Kun himself was in charge of sharing the results on his social media accounts X (previously called Twitter) and Instagram. “Finally just a dislocation. A couple of calm weeks and that’s it. Thank you very much, Dr. Ale Rolón,” expressed the 35-year-old former player in a publication, demonstrating his optimism regarding recovery.

“In the tomography we see how these two surfaces that should be aligned one above the other are misaligned and a little open, with a larger space. You do not have associated fractures, which many times these injuries are accompanied by fractures of the clavicle or acromion, but in your case it is just the dislocation,” the specialist said in the video while images of the shoulder of the two-time world champion Sub 20 (Netherlands 2005 and Canada 2007), Olympic gold medalist in Beijing 2008 and winner of the Copa América Brazil 2021.

Sergio Agüero has remained active in the sporting field even after his retirement, and this latest event in Avellaneda served as an emotional reunion with former glories of the club, such as Ricardo Bochini. During a recent interview he had spoken about his link with Rojo at the same time that in recent weeks many rumors had been generated about his possible appearance in first team training: “Two days ago I did another study and the truth is that everything came out. very good. Now I’m going to Madrid, I have a tournament and then to Mexico for another tournament. Then to the United States for another tournament. There I will also see my way of seeing how I am, to continue doing studies. The last ones went well. That leaves the cardiologist very happy. You never know, but the excitement and desire is always there to be able to step on the grass again. I also don’t want to excite people, the first thing I want is to be able to feel well. Being able to demand from the heart is the most important thing and then I will see what decision I will make. The desire is always there. “I’m excited, but I can’t confirm 100% either.”

Agüero’s presence in the match was brief but significant, marking one of the most anticipated moments of the night. The match stopped when, after trying to score by hitting the ball and failing, he competed for another ball with Eluchans, ending up falling and injuring himself. His departure from the field left his position to Leonel Ríos, but the affection of the fans was felt despite his early retirement.

“Being here again, especially stepping on the grass, which is the most important thing. There were many changes in the stadium, it is very nice. I haven’t been here for a while. I think people already know me, I am quite sincere and honest in always saying things. Whenever the club called me, I was always there. And there were years when the club didn’t call me and I didn’t have to call either,” he acknowledged. At the same time, he pointed out his contributions: “I always said whatever they needed, so they could count on me. Once Gaby Milito called me to build a Complex in Dominico and we did it. He came out very nice. I was always there for the club in whatever it needed, but I don’t like to get involved either because there are managers and people who are in charge of running the club. They haven’t handled it well for many years since I left. There are things that people out there don’t know: I left, they sold me for a lot of money, they didn’t give me 15%, I left it to the club. I didn’t take anything with me from the sale, but they did make this stadium beautiful and that’s why that big transfer was worth it.”
