Man City star Sergio Aguero charged with violent conduct

The Argentine international now faces a three-match ban that would see him miss Premier League games against Manchester United and Bournemouth and a League Cup third-round tie against Swansea City.

Aguero appeared to elbow Reid in the head on Monday (NZT), a Premier League game City won 3-1. The incident was not seen by match officials so the FA has taken retrospective action.

On Monday, Aguero withdrew from the World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela due to calf injury

Argentina host Uruguay on Thursday and then visit Venezuela five days later.  

Kelechi Iheanacho named EPL deadliest striker

Iheanacho sweeps Manchester City award after he is been named the deadliest striker in English Premier League.

The wonder boy finished the season with 14 goals in all competitions.

David Silva to miss out of Spain's clash after ligament damage

The Manchester City midfielder will miss out of his country's final EURO 2016 qualifier after suffering a ligament damage in his right ankle.

Spain midfielder David Silva suffered a sprained ankle during their 4-0 win over Luxembourg and will miss Monday’s clash with Ukraine.

Silva lasted nine minutes in Spain’s EURO qualifying match against Luxembourg, forced off after taking a bad challenge from behind.

The Manchester City star was scythed down by Lars Krogh Gerson in the early stages of the match, and immediately signalled for the physio, before limping off. 

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata was introduced to replace Silva, and Spain have now confirmed the extent of the injury.

"Medical update from the Spain camp: Silva – a 'strong' sprain (Grade II) lateral internal ligament, right ankle. At a guess, 2-3 weeks out.

— AS English (@English_AS) October 9, 2015,,

“David Silva will miss the following match [against Ukraine] due to a sprained internal ligament on his right ankle after today's match,” read a statement.

“The RFEF's medical services have gotten in touch with the services at Manchester City, who have received the relevant reports and the test carried out on the player."

Striker Alvaro Morata was also forced to withdraw from the game after sustaining an injury to his right leg jumping for a header, with Paco Alcacer introduced in his place.

The Juventus man will also miss the clash with Ukraine and is set to undergo further tests to know the extent of the injury

With Aguero set to miss at least a month, Silva’s injury could leave Manchester City without two of their top players in the coming weeks.

Silva has arguably been the best player in the Premier League this season, the quarterback of the City attack, which has scored a league-leading 19 goals through eight matches.

City travels to Old Trafford for the Manchester derby on October 25, which falls into that 2-3 week range for Silva’s recovery. In a match that could decide who sits top of the table, Manuel Pellegrini would be very shorthanded without Silva and Aguero.

Aguero taking no risk for Chelsea clash

Sergio Aguero has revealed he may not be ready to start Manchester City's mouth-watering Premier League clash with Chelsea on Sunday.

The prolific striker came on as a second-half substitute when City started their top-flight campaign with a 3-0 victory at West Brom on Monday.

Argentina international Aguero returned for pre-season training late due to his participation in the Copa America and has hinted that he may have to settle for an impact role off the bench at best against the champions.

"Whether I start or not remains to be seen," the former Altetico Madrid frontman told City's official website.

"I'm trying to get there and be in top condition, but arriving for pre-season later having taken part in the Copa America with Argentina means I need some additional time.

"With the whole season in mind, what matters the most is that I get in top form and don't take any risks."

Chelsea finished eight points clear of second-placed City last season, but Aguero is expecting a more dramatic title race this time around. 

"One thing you can say about the Premier League is that every year, it gets better," he added.

"Once again, many teams have made very important additions and that means there's no single rival for us this season.

"It'd be very naive to think that Chelsea will be the only team competing for the top position - there will be many of us and each one will challenge in their own style.

"We'll stay hungry for glory, we'll do our jobs, we'll win all we possibly can and see where that takes us."
