Sergio Aguero: Man City striker charged with violent conduct over Winston Reid elbow

Winston Reid could not talk after the clash, according to Hammers captain Mark Noble

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association for elbowing West Ham's Winston Reid.

Aguero could face a three-match ban, including City's Premier League games with Manchester United on 10 September and Bournemouth on 17 September. The 28-year-old would also miss the EFL Cup third-round game against Swansea.


Aguero is out of Argentina's two World Cup 2018 qualifiers next month with a calf injury. Referee Andre Marriner did not see the 76th-minute incident during City's 3-1 win on Sunday and the FA has decided to take retrospective action after reviewing television footage.

Aguero has until 18:00 BST on Wednesday, 31 August to respond.
