Manchester City have been granted an extra 24 hours to respond to Sergio Aguero's violent conduct charge.
The Football Association cited the Argentina forward on Tuesday following an incident involving West Ham's Winston Reid during City's 3-1 win at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
City originally had until 6pm on Wednesday to respond but requested extra time because the people who would usually handle the issue are busy with dealing with Deadline Day transfers.
The FA has acceded to Manchester City's request and the club now have until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge, which carries an automatic three-match ban.
Should Aguero contest the charge, a panel of three former elite match officials will review match footage and deliver a verdict.
A suspension would rule Aguero out of City's Manchester derby against United at Old Trafford on September 10, which will be live on Sky Sports.
