“I was told he was feeling a bit dizzy. I have just learned that he was taken to hospital and I can’t say much more until I know,” Barcelona’s caretaker coach Sergi Barjuan said after the match.
The club confirmed Aguero had been taken to a hospital for a cardiac exam in a social media post but it has not yet released the outcome of the exam.

Aguero’s former club, Manchester City, posted a message on Twitter wishing the striker well.
“Everyone at Manchester City wishes you a speedy recovery,” it read. “We’re with you.”
Aguero was making his first start at the Camp Nou since his summer move from the Premier League club.
The forward has been recovering from injury while Barcelona has made a poor start to the season.
Ronald Koeman was sacked as manager last week as a result of the team’s poor form, with the club currently languishing ninth in La Liga.

Sergio Aguero was taken to hospital after complaining of chest discomfort during Barcelona’s draw with Alaves.
The 33-year-old forward was replaced by Philippe Coutinho after receiving treatment for several minutes during the La Liga match at the Nou Camp.
He was seen holding his chest and will undergo cardiac tests at hospital as a precautionary measure after leaving the ground in an ambulance.
The club confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: “@aguerosergiokun reported chest discomfort and has been admitted to the hospital for a cardiac exam.”

Aguero’s Barcelona career has already been hampered by injury.
