Elbow throw may keep Aguero out at Man U

The Citizens currently sit atop the Premier League standings after winning their first three games of the 2016-17 season, but that perch will now be in danger if they’re without the talents of their talismanic frontman.

The Football Association has announced 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.

He has already been ruled out of Argentina’s forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela due to a calf injury.

Manchester City now face the possibility of being without their South American superstar for the next three matches, the next of which is a much-anticipated Manchester derby opposite Manchester United on September 10.

“I didn’t see it so I can not comment”.

“If we lose him, we lose him. we will still have 11”.

The Manchester City forward was involved in an incident with West Ham United’s Winston Reid in the 76th minute which was not seen at the time by officials.

Manchester City confirmed that the striker did not travel to Buenos Aires to meet up with his global team-mates before their World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela.

“He can play right, left centre”. I am so happy he is playing good.
