David Silva - official statement

Hope you now understand why I have kept schtum.
It's not like he had a knock on his ankle.
As someone has said, it's a measure of the man he has still shown commitment to the team throughout.
He has conducted some Captain type talks and kept himself in trim by training daily courtesy of his friends at FC Valencia.
He flew back for the Newcastle game and within 2 hours he was on a return flight.
He will be touched by all your supportive messages.
Mateo will be fine if he shows the same fight his Dad does on the pitch.


Yeh completely fair enough Bluwhit. He is a hero on and off the park. All the best to young Mateo.
 
Hope everything is alright with Mateo.

Let him have the time he needs.
 
Football is irrelevant at times like this family is everything, the man is a wonderful person on and off the pitch and I hope and pray everything works out for the best for him and his family.
 
Really sad about this turn of events for him. Should take as much time off as he wants, football isn't important at such times . Prayers with you David and your family !
 
Reading through this thread is not the best option when in work; having a tough time fighting away all my tears! Such heartbreaking but lovely stories shared by all the Blues, which gives me big positivity towards Mateo.
 
To those who have posted about their own experience, thank you. Good wishes to you all. I am humbled by your courage.
 
I'm retired now but was a specialist nurse caring for preterm and sick newborns for over 30 years. My heart goes out to Mateo and the whole family. David used the words extremely preterm- this usually relates to babies born at the margins of viability - around 23 - 25 weeks. I've no way of knowing is this is the case for Mateo. But this looks like a long long road for Mateo, Dave and his wife. Possibly months in NICU.

On the plus side these tiny fighters often weighing as little as 500g are really battlers and fighter. I've never ceased to be amazed at their toughness. My heart goes out to them all. Sending positive vibes to all
