It has not been the most enjoyable few days for Manchester City - they lose 3-1 to Chelsea on home turf and now they have learned that star striker Sergio Aguero will be banned for the next four Premier League games.

In all honesty, there will not be many surprised faces among the fans or club staff considering the Argentine’s horror challenge on David Luiz in the dying minutes of the match on Saturday.

It was a tackle borne of frustration at the game, in which City were leading for an hour thanks to a Gary Cahill own goal, but it was reckless from Aguero as he lunged in high on his opponent.

A mass brawl ensued, and as well as the striker getting sent off, teammate Fernandinho was also given his marching orders by referee Anthony Taylor for shoving Cesc Fabregas over an advertising hoarding.

The rage between the sets of players eventually settled down on the pitch, but now City are left without Fernandinho for three games and Aguero for four due to the forward’s previous ban for violent conduct earlier in the season.

If you remember, the 28-year-old missed three games for City after allegedly elbowing West Ham United's Winston Reid while off the ball during the North-West outfit's 3-1 triumph in the top flight.

As expected, fans of The Citizens are concerned about the loss of their star player, while rival supporters are either happy with his absence or feel that the Football Association should have hit him harder.
