Man City's David Silva explains absence for personal reasons
The Spanish midfielder missed four games for his club and has shared that the reason behind this was due to his new son being born prematurely.
Manchester City's Spanish international forward David Silva missed four matches recently because his prematurely-born baby son is fighting for his life, he revealed on Wednesday.
