FA damning over Aguero elbow

Sergio Aguero "clearly endangered the safety" of West Ham's Winston Reid, according to the FA commission that gave him a three-match ban.

The Football Association believe Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero "clearly endangered the safety" of West Ham defender Winston Reid in the incident that landed him with a three-match domestic ban.

Aguero is set to return to action in Wednesday evening's re-arranged Champions League Group C match against Borussia Monchengladbach, having started his punishment by sitting out last Saturday's 2-1 win in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

City contested the violent conduct charge against their top scorer after referee Andre Marriner did not see the incident during last month's 3-1 win over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.
