Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been charged by the Football Association after appearing to elbow West Ham's Winston Reid.

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 could face a three-match ban, which would rule him out of the derby against Manchester United on September 10, if found guilty.
