Guardiola: I don't know when David Silva will return
Posted Tuesday, January 02, 2018 by Marca.com
David Silva has been a midfield kingpin in Manchester City's superb start to the season but Pep Guardiola admitted that he does not know when he will return citing personal issues.
The Spain international has missed the last two matches against Newcastle United and Crystal Palace and his last appearance came in the victory over Bournemouth.
Silva had missed the December 16 victory over Tottenham Hotspur for the same reason, but returned days later.
In his press conference on Sunday, the former Barcelona coach couldn't shed any more light on the situation.
"He will return when he is ready," he explained.
"A personal life situation is always more important than any other situation.
"When he returns, it will be because he feels ready to do so."
The former Valencia playmaker has been a phenomenal part of the Blues' success this term having scored five goals and contributed 10 assists.
