City's Silva given the all-clear

Manchester - Manchester City playmaker David Silva has not suffered any fractures despite appearing to have sustained a serious injury last weekend, the English champions said Monday.

Silva was carried off on a stretcher midway through the second half of City's 2-0 Premier League win at home to West Ham on Sunday after being caught in the face by an elbow from Hammers midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate.

Before he was taken off, Silva was treated on the field at Eastlands for several minutes, raising concerns about the severity of his injury.
