Meanwhile with Argentina due to face Spain on Tuesday night, the 29-year-old was asked as to which player La Roja player he would prefer to have alongside him, and he was quick to point out to his clubmate David Silva, he added:“David Silva.

Silva Happy After Carabao Win

One day it will be me, on another day it will be David. Obviously, I'm very satisfied with the way I'm playing, I feel I'm playing really well. But I don't need to score or give assists, I just need to do my thing to help us win games and, in the end, I will be very happy. David is unbelievable to play alongside, he's very underrated, and that means a lot considering his standards.”

David Silva returns for Manchester City against Bournemouth

Pep Guardiola has been handed a huge boost with the news that midfielder and playmaker David Silva may be fit for the game against Bournemouth this weekend. The presence of the Spaniard has been a huge factor behind Manchester City’s incredible start to the season. However, Silva was unavailable for the recent game against Tottenham due to unknown reasons. The presence of several incredible stars in the lineup meant that Manchester City were able to get a 4-1 win over Spurs win without Silva, as it was the turn of Kevin De Bruyne to step up to the plate.

However, Silva will be back to take the mantle against Bournemouth. It is extremely important that Silva was back in the first team not just for this match, but also for the upcoming list of fixtures in the festive period. There are a number of matches for Manchester City during this period and this is immediately followed by the FA Cup and League Cup action in January. As a result, Guardiola may need their full complement of players in order to challenge on these four fronts. Apart from Silva, City may also be boosted by the return of John Stones, who has been looking impressive so far this season. The 23-year-old was heavily criticised in his debut season at the club.

In a report covered by Sky Sports, the City manager spoke about the midfielder's influence on his fellow teammates, while suggesting any deal is down to City director of football Txiki Begiristain.

Speaking as co-host on Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, he said: "City look phenomenal. They’ve got the best player in the league – and that’s David Silva. He’s head and shoulders above anyone else and has been for a while. Every pass is the right pass. He would have to be in the same conversation as a Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. If he was playing for Barcelona and not in the Premier League he would be even better. For me, he is the best in the Premier League by an absolute mile."
