Sergio Aguero could make his long-awaited Barcelona debut on October 24 against Real Madrid, according to reports.
The 33-year-old, who joined Barcelona on a free transfer this summer, has yet to make an appearance for the Catalan giants after suffering a catastrophic calf injury in early August.
However, Aguero is making considerable progress on the training field, and the Argentina international is close to making his debut for the club, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The forward had been anticipated to return in November, but he is now expected to play before the end of the month, possibly in El Clasico on October 24.
When Barcelona hosts Valencia on October 17 in La Liga, they will be seeking to bounce back from two consecutive defeats.
Between 2011 and 2021, Aguero scored 260 goals and added 73 assists in 390 games for Manchester City, earning him a move to Ronald Koeman’s team.
