David Silva says his recent absences from Manchester City are due to the premature birth of his son.
The City midfielder missed out on Newcastle and drew at Crystal Palace, which saw the club's record-breaking 18-game winning streak come to an end.
Pep Guardiola had explained that Silva had not been part of his selection for personal reasons before the return of the player in the 3-1 win over Watford.
Silva has now released information about his time away publicly, while also thanking Guardiola, his team-mates and those at Manchester City for their understanding of his situation.
“I want to share with you the birth of my son Mateo, who was born extremely preterm and is fighting day by day with the help of the medical team,” Silva posted on Twitter.
Manchester City host Burnley in the FA Cup on Saturday before the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Sky Bet Championship side Bristol City on Tuesday.
