Aguero cops four-match ban for horror tackle
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero is set to miss Manchester City's next four domestic matches after his red card in the 3-1 defeat to Chelsea.
The Argentina international was sent off for a reckless challenge on David Luiz in injury time of Manchester City's 3-1 defeat to the Premier League leader at the Etihad Stadium.
The FA updated the disciplinary page on its official website, verifying that Aguero has been given a suspension that will rule him out of matches against champions Leicester City, Watford, Arsenal and Hull City.
It is the second time Aguero has been punished for violent conduct this season, prompting the lengthier ban, after he was given a retrospective red card for elbowing West Ham's Winston Reid in August.
Team-mate Fernandinho is likely to receive a three-match suspension after he was sent off for pushing Cesc Fabregas over the advertising boards in the fracas that followed Aguero's challenge.
The FA has taken a dim view of the incident, which occurred in the 95th minute, and has charged both clubs for "failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour." City and Chelsea have until 8 December (local time) to respond to the charge.
