Man City's Silva allays injury fears

David Silva has confirmed that he is fine after receiving positive test results regarding his suspected broken cheekbone.

The Manchester City playmaker was felled by an errant Cheikhou Kouyate in the second half of the 2-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday which forced Silva off the pitch on a stretcher.

There were fears that Silva may be sidelined for the rest of the season if the cheekbone was fractured but x-rays have shown that there is no serious damage to the area.
