Man City wait on Bernardo Silva news amid early hopes on injury
manchestereveningnews.co.ukBernardo Silva will be assessed at Manchester City on Thursday amid early hopes over the injury. Pep Guardiola pulled the Portugal international out of the Champions League tie with Crvena Zvezda on Wednesday night before half-time, with Jeremy Doku taking his place.
The City boss told reporters after the game that Silva would miss the "next games", although he admitted he hadn't spoken with his medical team about it.
Silva will be looked over to determine the extent of his problem, but the early indications were that the injury was not serious and he may not be out for long at all.
