Silva back home after Kouyate elbow

David Silva has allayed fears over his injury sustained in Manchester City's 2-0 win against West Ham, confirming that tests have gone well.

Manchester City attacking midfielder David Silva is back at home after revealing that all tests on his injury sustained in Sunday's 2-0 win over West Ham have been positive.

Manuel Pellegrini's men eased to victory at the Etihad Stadium thanks to a bizarre James Collins own goal and Sergio Aguero's strike.

But the triumph was marred by the blow to Silva, who was caught in the side of the head by an elbow from West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate in the 67th minute and taken off on a stretcher following lengthy treatment.
