A player in need of some game time, Bernardo Silva followed up his hour-long appearance on Friday with almost another 30 yesterday.

If I could have selected which Silva got 90 minutes total and which one got 120, it would be the opposite way to how it went.

An assessment back in Manchester will see if he will be in contention for Saturdays game. Not a bad return really for the player who has found it hard to get games in the EPL.
