The striker didn't make it to half time on what was his second start for the club

Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero was taken off five minutes before half-time during Saturday's match against Alaves at Camp Nou.

Images later showed him leaving having to leave the stadium in an ambulance for further tests, with some reports saying he was OK but that his heart beat had been too fast.

The Argentine international had to be attended by medical staff on the pitch for a while but was able to walk off in the end, with Philippe Coutinho replacing him.

Interim coach Sergi Barjuan quickly moved to replace him with Coutinho, who had been warming up along with B team winger Abde.

It was Aguero's second start of the season following his first in midweek when Barça were beaten 1-0 by Rayo Vallecano.
