Impact Aguero had just made his second La Liga start after missing the first two months of the season with a calf injury, but he will now be out until February at the earliest as he is dealing with a heart issue. Another lengthy spell on the sidelines means that Luuk de Jong will likely plug back into the starting XI at forward.
