Silva Expected to Play on Saturday
Tuesday, September 22
Manager Manuel Pellegrini thinks Silva "should" be fit for Saturday's match against Tottenham, in accordance with Stuart Brennan in the Manchester Evening News.
Manager Manuel Pelligrini said Silva "has a activate the calf. He felt his muscle inside the warm-up and didn't play," per Manchester City on Sept. 19.
The Spanish star was instrumental in City’s sublime start this coming year before he accrued problems on international duty. Since here we are at the side, Silva has been doing solid form.
Luckily, Pellegrini has an abundance of options to call upon to fill the No. 10 position if Silva were to miss time, with Samir Nasri, Yaya Toure, Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne all perfectly capable. Het Laatste Nieuws' Kristof Terreur believes aforementioned could just slide inside to the No. 10 position.
But Silva is usually a unique player, and regardless of the formation City thought we would play, they’re an improved side in the event the mercurial Spaniard is from the XI. Whether floating over flanks or behind a striker, there are not many better technical players inside Premier League, nor many better passers from the ball.
