Are Boateng and Silva injured or what? Not giving much chance for the new first team to gel. I'm starting to worry, pre-season nerves are hitting.

They along with Tevez and Nige have only had a couple of training sessions, they're in no condition to be playing tomorrow, it risks injuries. I'm sure they'll get some time on Saturday.

They just started training at carrington after arriving back from their world cup holidays, thats why they arent playing

Fair enough. I suppose I'll have to have faith in the manager. Sven managed to get a load of new players to gel so hopefully Mancini can do the same.

Boateng and Silva might get eased into the team gradually anyway?
