Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini confirmed yesterday that David Silva and Mario Balotelli have both been ruled out of tonight's crucial Premier League clash at Arsenal. The pair have both suffered knee injuries, with Silva possibly out for two weeks.
"It is a big problem," admitted Mancini. "Neither of them will be available."
"David has been an important player for us and has been doing well recently," said Mancini. "Hopefully, he will be back for the Wolves game on January 15. Mario might be back for the FA Cup tie at Leicester on Sunday."
Meanwhile, Mancini claimed that his side are still outsiders in a five-team pursuit of the title. City are joint top with neighbours Manchester United, although they have played two games more. And Mancini feels City's inexperience could count against them. "Arsenal, Chelsea, United and Tottenham all have more experience than us. One of those four teams will win the title. We just want to work, so we can improve."
