Manchester City have been dealt a huge blow with the news that midfielder David Silva could miss up to a month due to a calf injury sustained in training.
The Spaniard has made 11 appearances so far this season for Manuel Pellegrini, but the Chilean manager confirmed in his press conference ahead of the weekend’s game with Sunderland that he is likely to miss up to a month.
“Obviously we have another day before we make any decisions but David Silva, Richard Wright, Stevan Jovetic and Vincent Kompany will miss the Sunderland game,” he told the club’s official website.
“Fernandinho and Matija Nastasic have slight problems but he could possibly be fit for Sunday.
“As I say we have some more time but we will have to wait and see. Silva has a problem with his calf so he could miss three or four weeks.”
