David Silva Ruled out of Manchester City's Trip to Liverpool with Muscle Injury

David Silva is set to miss Manchester City's Premier League clash against Liverpool next Sunday with a muscle injury.

The Spaniard was taken off at half-time in Saturday's 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Per the Mirror's David McDonnell, when asked if Silva would be fit for the trip to Anfield, manager Pep Guardiola said:

"I don't think so. I didn't speak with the doctor, but when he has a muscular problem and cannot play more minutes, it's because he has something.

"When it's a muscular problem, it's always a minimum of 10 to 12 days.
