Manchester City’s preparation for their game against West Ham United has been dealt a blow.
While warming up ahead of the evening kick off, David Silva pulled up with an injury, meaning he will miss the game against West Ham.
The loss of Silva will disappoint City supporters, with the Spaniard being a key factor in the side’s fantastic start to their Premier League campaign.
Jesus Navas has replaced Silva in the starting line up but there is a return for Sergio Aguero, who was substituted in City’s victory at Crystal Palace in their last Premier League game with a knee injury.
CITY XI: Hart, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Kolarov, Toure, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Sterling, Silva, Aguero #cityvwestham #mcfc
