Overview
- Agüero said Tuesday in a video that an MRI showed a torn Achilles tendon and that he will have surgery, a diagnosis the Independiente senior team also posted.
- The injury came during Monday night’s Independiente–River game in Wilde in Argentina’s over-35 seniors league, and the club’s 2-0 win quickly receded in importance.
- He went down without contact while trying to control the ball and could not put weight on his left foot.
- With no stretcher available, players from both teams carried him off the field, and video of the moment spread widely on social media.
- Doctors at Sanatorio Otamendi confirmed the rupture, and local reports estimate rehabilitation at roughly three to four months.
