Aguero won’t press charges

-

with a trophy in your hands. With the game deciding whether or not Guardiola’s wait for a first trophy in England extends to May, keeping his word on the goalkeeper cannot be a straightfo­rward decision.

Bravo could consider it harsh were he to be dropped for the final given his league cup displays this season, although Monday night highlighte­d the problem that he brings.

If it would be harsh to place any blame on him for Will Grigg’s goal, the opposition needing just a few shots on target to score past the former Barcelona keeper has been a recurring theme of his time in Manchester.

Ederson undeniably brings more composure to the backline, which will give the Blues a better chance of leaving Wembley with a trophy.

Would it be worth it if Guardiola has to go back on his word to do so? Or is the manager better placed staying on Bravo’s hill whatever the consequenc­es?

Only the final whistle will reveal the right decision, but it will be one of the harder names on the teamsheets to fill. SERGIO Aguero has opted against pressing charges following the aftermath of City’s FA Cup defeat.

The striker was accosted on the Wigan pitch after the full-time whistle when home fans spilled onto the pitch to celebrate the famous victory.

Aguero met with club officials and lawyers on Tuesday and told them that one supporter spat in his ear and shouted an obscenity. But after evaluating the options, he has decided to put the matter behind him.
