Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Spain midfielder David Silva will miss the team's warm-weather training trip to Dubai in order to spend time with his infant son.
Ever since the birth of his prematurely-born baby in January, Silva has been in and out of the team as he's had to travel to Valencia to be with his family.
While he will be available for selection against Stoke City on Monday night, the Spaniard will not travel to Dubai with the rest of his teammates next weekend, with Guardiola taking the chance to put his players through their paces in the United Arab Emirates during the upcoming break.
