Sergio Agüero’s early days as a Barcelona player are not what the Argentinian striker would have imagined. First, because his dream of playing with Lionel Messi was interrupted before it started, as the star confirmed his departure from the Catalan club over the weekend. He then did not make the squad on Sunday’s squad against Juventus due to an inconvenience, which on Monday was confirmed will require two and a half months of recovery.
Agüero would make his official appearance in the Barcelona shirt during the Joan Gamper Trophy, a regular meeting in which the Catalan club opens its new squad every season. However, a calf injury to his right leg caused him to fall after Dutch coach Ronald Koeman was called up and he was not in the 3-0 victory over Juventus.

To make matters worse, this morning he did medical studies and it was confirmed that the degree of the injury is more complicated than expected, so his recovery will take 10 weeks, according to the part Barcelona have posted on their social networks. “Tests carried out on the starting player Kun Agüero confirmed the injury to the hamstring in his right calf,” said the Catalan club. “The approximate time of withdrawal will be about ten weeks”, completed the medical report.
Thus, Kun will miss the start of the season with Barcelona and will not be ready for the call of coach Lionel Scaloni, who in the coming days should present the list of those named for the FIFA Date in September, when they will resume the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
