Knee Injury sidelines City'S Silva For A Month

MANCHESTER City midfielder David Silva will miss Sunday’s derby against Manchester United and could be out of action for up to a month with a knee injury, manager Manuel Pellegrini said.

Silva was injured during the early stages of holders City’s 2-0 League Cup defeat at home to Newcastle United on Wednesday after a clash with the Magpies’ Ryan Taylor.
“Manuel Pellegrini confirms that @21LVA will miss Sunday’s game. Will be out for 3-4 weeks,” City said on Twitter on Friday.
Silva is now also out of City’s potentially decisive Champions League group match against CSKA Moscow and the Premier League fixture away to Queens Park Rangers.
He is also doubtful for Spain’s upcoming Euro 2016 qualifier against Belarus and a friendly with Germany.
