Manchester City midfielder David Silva is currently playing through the pain barrier as he struggles with an ankle injury that means he cannot train all week. City boss Manuel Pellegrini has revealed the midfielder is carrying a knock, but is confident he will be fit enough to face Liverpool in their crunch clash on Sunday.
However, it has left Pellegrini sweating over whether he will be fit enough for the other remaining games. Pellegrini said to the Manchester Evening News:
“He’s playing very well and it’s with double merit because he’s playing with his ankle that he has to stop two or three days during the week. It is very important at the end of the season to have high individual performances and he is one of our players who is in a very good moment.
“He played the last two games without a problem and now we have a whole week before we play against Liverpool. So I don’t think he will have any problems.”
