The first potential casualty of the international break has emerged, with Man City’s David Silva suffering an injury that forced him after just 13 minutes of Spain’s World Cup qualifier with France tonight.

Reports on the injury are, predictably, sketchy at this time with claims that Silva may have suffered a problem with his knee or hamstring. However, the Daily Mail’s Ian Ladyman has since tweeted that it’s Silva’s ankle that has taken the blow – an area which has haunted Silva: the player previously confessing that he has played with an ankle problem for several seasons.

City are now reporting the injury, suggesting a hamstring problem and stating that the player will be examined on his return to Manchester. At that point we should be clearer on the situation and whether Silva will be a doubt for the trip to West Brom on Saturday.

Roberto Mancini will be hugely concerned given that he has a host of players due to return for assessment prior to the weekend, including Sergio Aguero who will turn out for Argentina in Chile in the early hours of this morning. His worries will also include several of England’s lineup who look set to face Poland tomorrow evening after tonight’s postponement in Warsaw.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I wanted to do another transfer in order to afford him and as Fellaini was injured I thought his price would have dropped more.

        Fellaini is flagged so his price drop is going to be slower than normal.

        If Cisse hits form, someone's gotta assist him. That will probably be Ba and Barfa. So he should still be in the points as well as scoring his own goals.

    Any chance of Yaya getting pushed forward with two of Rodwell, Javi Garcia and Barry holding? I know Nasri is first choice to fill the spot but is there any chance Silva's injury increases Yaya's point output?

        Awh πŸ™ I guess its back to the 2-pointers for Yaya. Really considering a hit for him --> Mata. Although I shouldn't really be telling you Mark since we're up in the UEFA together this week πŸ˜›

    Could this result in Yaya playing a more forward role then usual?

      I think Yaya might play more forward IMO

        So I'd go Yaya instead of Nasri, but could be a good differential if he starts
