David Silva: Out Wednesday, could return Saturday

Silva (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Champions League match against Juventus, but he could return Saturday against Southampton.

Analysis:

Silva has been sidelined since suffering the injury over the October international break, and while he was expected back right away, he apparently was still feeling pain in the area. Given the length of his layoff, it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't start in his return, but it'll be only a matter of time before he's back in the first XI.
