Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been charged by the Football Association with violent conduct after an elbow on West Ham defender Winston Reid.<\/p>\n
The Argentina international is now facing a suspension that would rule him out of the upcoming derby against Manchester United on September 10.<\/p>\n
Aguero has been punished for catching Reid with his arm in Sunday’s 3-1 win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
Referee Andre Marriner did not include the incident in his match report, with retrospective action set to be taken against the attacker.<\/p>\n
A possible three-match ban would also rule Aguero out of subsequent fixtures with Bournemouth and Swansea City, in the EFL Cup.<\/p>\n
An FA statement read:\u00a0“Sergio Aguero has been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.<\/p>\n
“He has until 6pm on Wednesday 31 August to reply.<\/p>\n
“Off the ball incidents which are not seen at the time by the match officials are referred to a panel of three former elite match officials.<\/p>\n
“Each panel member will review the video footage independently of one another to determine whether they consider it a sending-off offence.<\/p>\n
“For retrospective action to be taken, and an FA charge to follow, the decision of the panel must be unanimous.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
