Birmingham City playmaker David Silva is because of undergo checks to look for the seriousness of his hamstring injury before Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea. Director Roberto Mancini fears the Spaniard can skip the trip to Wembley after being forced down in the latter levels of Monday's derby success over Manchester United at Old Trafford. But City have given the damage a day to be in down and the 27-year-old is hopeful he may however be given the all-clear. It was felt by silva said: "I by the end and I'm still feeling it now but we will have to wait and see what the tests show. "Hopefully I'll manage to recover for Sunday. "If I can't you will find always team-mates that can play however it would have been a big blow for me personally. It's a casino game every person wants to play." The FA Cup shows City's most practical trust of silverware but Chelsea, however rivals for 2nd position in the Barclays Premier League, will give you hard opposition. Global team-mate Juan Mata is just one person Silva knows will have to be covered. "Mata is a superb person and he is known by me well but it isn't only Juan Mata we need to fear about," said Silva, speaking at a promotional event for Anfi, a luxury holiday company based on his ancient Gran Canaria. "Chelsea have a fantastic team in one fit any such thing can happen so let's only perform the overall game and see what that brings." Winning the cup for a second time in three periods will be a good convenience for City after their failure to install a firm defence of their Premier League name. Despite their earned 2-1 defeat of United, City stay 12 details behind their rivals with only seven games outstanding. Several factors have been put forward for City's under-achievement but Silva feels a lot of it's been right down to bad luck. He said: "What really reflects what's happened this year - including the sport against United in the home when we enjoyed well however in the final minute a goal was conceded by us. "The year is a huge tiny bit like this. Times where we have needed slightly of luck, it has perhaps not been there." Mancini has explained his dedication to reclaim the subject next season and securing Yaya Toure on a brand new commitment a week ago was one statement of goal. Silva himself signed a new deal early in the day in the summer season and seems the near future is positive at Eastlands. He said: "Yaya is a superb person. For the present and potential it's very important we've people like him and they are kept by us around. "I sense we are growing every year as a team. I'm comfortable ahead of next year."
