Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has admitted that David Silva is likely to miss his side's FA Cup semi-final showdown with Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday.
The Spaniard sustained an injury to his hamstring in the 2-1 win over Manchester United on Monday, and he was replaced late on by Joleon Lescott at Old Trafford.
However, the win seems to have come at a cost for the midfielder, as he looks unlikely to play a part in the competition at the weekend.
"Maybe it is not so bad, but I don't think he will be ready for Chelsea," Mancini told ESPN.
Should City advance past Chelsea then they will face the winner of Wigan Athletic versus Millwall in the final.
