Manchester City midfielder David Silva is said to be doubtful for this weekend's vital Premier League meeting with Arsenal.

The Spaniard suffered an ankle injury during his side's 3-0 win over city rivals Manchester United earlier this week and may not recover in time, The Mirror reports.

Silva has been undergoing treatment, and will undergo a last-minute assessment ahead of the game to establish whether he is fit enough to play a part.

City will also be without their top scorer Sergio Aguero, who remains sidelined with a hamstring problem.
