The 26-year-old is struggling with a hamstring injury, according to Sky Sports News, although it is not yet clear whether the injury was sustained in training or in the weekend draw with Everton.

It is understood that the injury could also see him miss Sunday's Manchester derby against rivals Manchester United.

Silva has been limited to just nine league appearances for the club this season following a host of injuries.
