City waiting on Silva

Manchester City playmaker David Silva has not yet been ruled out of Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley.

Manager Roberto Mancini will give the Spaniard‘s hamstring until the morning of the match to prove his fitness after suffering the injury in Monday’s derby defeat of Manchester United.

Striker Sergio Aguero is pushing to return to the starting line-up after two substitute appearances since recovering from a knee injury but is not yet rated fully fit.

Provisional squad: Hart, Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Lescott, K Toure, Clichy, Kolarov, Nasri, Milner, Y Toure, Barry, Garcia, Rodwell, Silva, Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko, Razak.
