Full article translated:

David Silva is set to spend what seemed to be his last season as an active player, after renewing his contract with Real Sociedad a few months ago, as he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Wednesday's training session. The canary crack will visit a specialist to confirm this first diagnosis.

David Silva suffered this serious injury in training on Wednesday morning, but it was on Thursday night that Real Sociedad issued the following medical report:

"David Silva had to leave yesterday's training session due to discomfort in his left knee. The imaging tests carried out showed an anterior cruciate ligament injury. At this moment he is pending to be assessed by a specialist, something that will take place next week."
 
Gutted for him.

I wanted us to draw Real Sociedad in the groups to give him a send off. Hopefully still possible even if he can't play.
 
I was holding out hope we’d draw Sociedad in the CL and he’d come back home for 1 more game.


Maybe we still will and he can be the guest of honour.

Terrible injury that at age 37 will probably do for his career.

What a player though, magnificent.

He really was a magician with the ball at his feet. I loved watching him.

It has been said before, Merlin made City supporters look at football differently than they had before he arrived at Etihad.

I hope he makes a full recovery from this terrible injury, though as you say, at his age, it’s not certain.
 
Wishing Merlin ElMago a speedy recovery. As others have said was hoping we’d draw Sociedad so we could give him an ovation.
