He called me\u2026the lads as well.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are looking to have a meeting this week and see what can be done\u2026 There is the idea that I could be a part of the backroom staff. If I go, I would be able to be with the players and be in the training sessions.\u201d<\/p>\n The former Manchester City star, who won the Copa America with Argentina in 2021, would have been considered by Scaloni for the tournament in Qatar.<\/p>\n Aguero said that he had a chip inserted to monitor his heart.<\/p>\n \u201cIf my heart accelerates, the doctors know,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a chip inserted.\u00a0 The other day I was running on the treadmill, and I played a game of football tennis and I ran out of breath.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to sprint again. I am scared.\u201d<\/p>\n Aguero twice won the Under-20 World Cup with Argentina.
