The manager stated that whenever David Silva suffers from a muscular problem, he usually takes a minimum of 10-12 days to recover. Manchester City are currently six points behind Liverpool in the Premier League's points-table and the Matchday 12 clash on Sunday is very critical for both the teams. The absence of the Spaniard can make a huge difference for the Blues. PEP on @21LVA's injury 💬 (Will he be OK for Atalanta and Liverpool?) I don’t think so. I didn’t speak with the doctor but when he has some muscular problems and can't play more minutes it’s because he has something, and muscular problems normally means 10 to 12 days (out). — Manchester City (@ManCity) November 3, 2019 Also Read | Cristiano Ronaldo: Juventus' Motto Is To Always Fight Till The End It is undoubtedly one of the most important matches for Manchester City in their quest to grab their third successive Premier League title. However, Pep Guardiola does not see it as a must-win match and said that they are going to try but he does not consider it to be the most important match. Manchester City will be travelling to Italy for their Champions League clash against Atalanta. Pep may rest some of his players for the clash as they are already five points clear in Group C of Champions League 2019-20. PEP 💬 Do you think we can win four titles in one season by prioritising games? No. We are going to play with the best team as possible to win in Italy against Atalanta and after that Anfield. 🔵 #ManCity — Manchester City (@ManCity) November 3, 2019 Also Read | Carabao Cup Quarter-final Draw: Aston Villa To Host Liverpool
