Football: Sergio Aguero facing three-game ban

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero was last night charged by the Football Association after appearing to elbow West Ham’s Winston Reid.
Aguero must answer a charge of alleged violent conduct following the incident during City’s defeat of the Hammers at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The 28-year-old has until 6pm today to respond and could face a three-match ban, which would rule him out of the derby against Manchester United on September 10, if found guilty.
The off-the-ball incident, which occurred in the second- half of City’s 3-1 win, was not seen by referee Andre Marriner or other officials during the game. It has since been reviewed by a panel of former elite match officials, all of whom agree the matter would have been a sending-off offence.
If this ban goes through, then this will mean a big party for the Manchester United side.
