Bernardo Silva could be injury doubt for Man City vs Chelsea

Highlights Bernardo Silva’s fitness is being assessed ahead of Manchester City’s match against Chelsea tomorrow, according to head coach Pep Guardiola.
The Sky Blues are aiming to secure their fourth Premier League title in a row, which would be an unprecedented achievement in English football.
Jack Grealish is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks due to a muscle strain, while Silva’s availability for the clash at the Etihad Stadium is still uncertain.
Manchester City will assess attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva’s fitness now ahead of their clash with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium tomorrow, according to head coach Pep Guardiola.
The Sky Blues have hit a fine run of form and are looking to secure their fourth Premier League title on the spin, which would be an unprecedented achievement in English football.
Silva played in City’s 3-1 Champions League last-16 first-leg victory against Copenhagen on 13th February but was left limping after a strong challenge late in the game. The forward-minded player hopes to be available for tomorrow’s meeting with Mauricio Pochettino’s side in what promises to be another critical weekend of Premier League action.
Fantastic evening in Copenhagen marred by injuries
Silva was not the only casualty in Denmark
Guardiola will be frustrated that his squad is still rife with injury concerns after a positive week of results. A 2-0 victory over Everton last weekend means that City still have the outcome of the title race in their hands.
Meanwhile, a 3-1 Champions League last-16 first-leg victory in Copenhagen means it would take something special from the Danish champions to prevent City from reaching the quarter-finals this term. However, the European clash was marred by injury concerns for Jack Grealish and Silva.
The former is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks, with a muscle strain picked up in the first half in Copenhagen. Meanwhile, Guardiola has told reporters in his pre-match press conference that Silva will be assessed in today’s training session, hinting a decision on his availability hasn’t been made yet.
