Many thanks to all the messages of support, all the tests have gone well and I'm already home.The 3 points is what was important!!

Look who's back...

David Silva was back at training on Tuesday morning after recovering from a flying elbow to the face in Sunday's 2-0 victory over West Ham.

There were fears for the midfielder after he received eight minutes of treatment on the pitch and had to be stretchered off with an oxygen mask following the incident with the Hammers' Cheikhou Kouyate.


However, hospital tests confirmed the 29-year-old has escaped a fractured cheekbone.

Under 48 hours after the final whistle blew at the Etihad, Silva was pictured giving the thumbs up to the camera at the City Football Academy as preparations commence for Saturday's visit of Aston Villa.

The club will continue to monitor his progress ahead of the weekend, and Manuel Pellegrini will have a full update in Friday's pre-match press conference.

How is fourth nailed on with a win Saturday exactly?

The maths per favor.

Cheers

More pyschological tbh. Seven ahead with only four games left and thats assuming dippers win at WBA which I actually doubt they will do. Could then be nine or ten. Not mathematically certain but we would only then require one more win.

A lot of football is actually played in the head. For example how many teams have rocked up to the swamp over the years expecting a defeat and then been handed a spanking?

Chavs haven't won league mathematically, but they are gonna steal our pot for the next year. That is certain

Normal procedure I would've thought? Was he spark out?

He wasn't out cold, but you can go into shock after a proper whack to the head so it was probably the right thing to do.

On that note, assuming he will have had some concussion, is there no mandatory rest period like in other sports?

I would imagine it was purely precautionary and standard procedure, I know I would have been pretty dazed by the whack he got.

You are unlikely to get a concussion if you are hit on the cheek, unless you're storing you're brain in your mouth
