Bernardo Silva has missed Manchester City’s matchday squad for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
The 31-year-old played 88 minutes in City’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Sunday night as the Blues lost further ground in the Premier League title race, having won one of their last six league games to allow Arsenal to establish a six point lead at the top of the table.
The jury remains out on whether Pep Guardiola’s side can fulfil their aspirations of silverware in the coming months as City continue to grapple with an injury crisis that has derailed their form in the last month or so.
A must-win Premier League battle against Liverpool at Anfield awaits Manchester City this weekend, though they have a chance to return to winning ways in the return leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie against Newcastle United on Wednesday night.
Guardiola has made six changes to his lineup from Tottenham to face the Magpies, with City entering the game with a two goal lead courtesy of strikes from Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki in a 2-0 first-leg triumph at St. James’ Park three weeks ago.
Ahead of Wednesday’s 20:00 UK kick-off at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City’s official channels have confirmed that club captain Bernardo Silva has missed the matchday squad against Eddie Howe’s side due to injury.
