If Silva’s injury is serious enough for him to be out for the rest of the season, the Brazilian veteran may well have played his last game for the Blues, as he is expected to leave the club this summer as a player free. He is said to have already reached a verbal agreement with his boyhood club, Fluminense.
With five matches remaining in the season, the Brazilian will have to embark on a race against time if he wants to make another appearance in the Blues jersey before his imminent departure.
