Man City boss Pellegrini admits Silva injury concern

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits there's no date set for David Silva's playing return.

Silva hurt his knee in the 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United at the end of last month and has been unable to help City as they have continued to struggle in the Barclays Premier League and the Champions League.

Pellegrini said: "We don't know when he will be back because David still feels some pain in his knee, so he's not able to kick the ball. We'll see if next week he can be ready at the end of the week. It will depend on the way he improves in the next few days.

"He still feels a little pain, but not very hard so I hope in the next week we have good news about David."
