Manager Roberto Mancini played down fears of a David Silva injury after he limped out of Manchester City's win in Villarreal.
City's playmaker, a star man for them so far this season, left the field clutching his back in the second half before his side recorded a 3-0 Champions League victory.
However, Mancini said afterwards he was not concerned.
He said: "I don't think this is serious. He took a knock on his back.

"Also we play again in 60 hours against QPR. I think he can recover well."
