Silva went off injured after an incident with Cheikhou Kouyate at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. After eight minutes of on-field treatment, he was stretchered off amidst fears of having suffered grave injury.
But the Spain international has returned to training with the Citizens this morning and could return to first team action this weekend.
