David Silva's son Mateo spent his first five months of his life in hospital, which led to a tough season for the Manchester City star.
Manchester City's David Silva used football as an escape last season while juggling his professional life with the premature birth of his son Mateo.
The Spain star spent much of 2017-18 travelling to and from his homeland, as Mateo spent the first five months of his life in hospital.
Despite that tough period, Silva still played a pivotal role in City's record-breaking Premier League title win and EFL Cup triumph and showed off his son to the Etihad Stadium crowd in last month's 6-1 thrashing of Huddersfield Town.
