LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) - Manchester City playmaker David Silva has been given the all-clear by doctors after it was feared he may have fractured his cheekbone.
The Spain midfielder went to hospital after suffering a facial injury during the 2-0 Premier League victory over West Ham United on Sunday.
Silva received treatment for nearly 10 minutes and was carried off on a stretcher after being struck by the elbow of West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate.
"Tests confirm @21LVA did not suffer a fracture," City said on their Twitter account of the player who wears the number 21 shirt.
