Sergio Aguero has been issued with a three match ban for violent conduct.
The ban has been issued in relation to an apparent incident during Manchester City’s recent home game against West Ham United where he was caught on camera swinging his elbow towards the face of Winston Reid.
He misses the next three domestic matches for the club, including City’s next game, an away fixture against Manchester United.
His absence leaves young striker Kelechi Ihenacho as the only recognised striker following Wilfried Bonys departure.
