David Silva available for Manchester Citys clash with Huddersfield after Kevin De Bruyne blow
Manchester City star David Silva is fit to face Huddersfield on Sunday after stepping up his recovery from a leg injury.
The Spaniard missed Citys 2-0 win against Arsenal last Sunday after staff deemed him unfit for the clash at the Emirates.
The likes of Kyle Walker and Raheem Sterling were handed starting berths after just three days of pre-season training but Citys medical team wanted to take greater care with Silva given he is 32 years of age.
However, Guardiola has confirmed that Silva was able to participate in training this week.
He trained last two or three sessions really good, said Guardiola.
He had a problem with his leg for the Arsenal game but he has trained good in the last two or three days.

Guardiola is considering leaving Sergio Aguero out of his starting XI against Huddersfield and Metro.co.uk understands hes unlikely to risk Silva from the start.
Kevin De Bruynes set to miss at least two months with a knee injury and the Spaniard is considering playing Gabriel Jesus against the Terriers.
However, Silva is likely to have to settle for a place on the bench with Ilkay Gundogan, Fernandinho and Bernardo Silva set to retain their places in midfield.
