‘Fighting day by day’

Manchester City playmaker David Silva says his son is “fighting day by day” after being born prematurely.

The Spain international missed two of City’s four games to return to his native country. Silva thanked City for “understanding my situation” and said his son, Mateo, “was born extremely preterm and is fighting day by day with the help of the medical team.”

City manager Pep Guardiola said Silva would be free to set his own schedule to deal with his situation. “Family is the most important thing in life. It doesn’t matter if we drop a lot of points because he is not here. I will never push him.”
