BARCELONA - Barcelona striker Sergio Agüero has been ruled out of action for 10 weeks, the club said on Monday, deepening the Catalans' troubles ahead of the new season following Lionel Messi's shock departure.
Agüero, a close friend of Messi and his international teammate with Argentina, joined Barça as a free agent in June after 10 years with Manchester City.
Last week I was happily reporting to you that Lionel Messi had touched down back in Barcelona to put pen to paper on a new five-year contract at the Camp Nou. It was so widely accepted that nobody batted an eye at the six-time Ballon d’Or winner’s strange status as a free agent following the expiration of his previous deal at the stroke of midnight on July 1.

The immediate consequence is that Canada plays Mexico on Thursday at NRG Stadium in Houston. The long-term implication is that Canada, heading into 2022 World Cup qualifying, can make a serious claim as to now being Concacaf’s third-best team.
In what 100% looks like a trailer for the latest Syfy original movie called “Socnado: Red Card, Red Alert”, a dust devil ripped through a match in Bolivia just before kick-off, forcing both teams to flee before its mighty path of destruction.
We’re happy to report that no one was occupying the T-shirt that got yeeted to high heaven. The dust devil did seem bent on getting the referee in the eye of its storm, so maybe we should open up disciplinary proceedings against nature.
