“It’s over for him’ – Chelsea star told his Chelsea team mate career is over after Manchester City draw

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Thiago Silva’s days at Chelsea are numbered after Silva was upstaged by his younger teammates against Manchester City.

Silva missed the game against Manchester City after the Chelsea defender suffered an injury in the 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

In Silva’s absence, Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill performed brilliantly at the Etihad against Manchester City.

Carragher told Sky Sports: “Last couple of big away games going back to Aston Villa in the [FA] Cup and here today when Thiago Silva has not been involved.

“He’s been brilliant for Chelsea since he’s come in. But I think with his age, his contract’s up at the end of the season and when you see those two players [Disasi and Colwill] in together…

“I think it makes it very difficult for Thiago Silva to come back into the team between now and the end of the season – unless someone gets injured.

Chelsea have the cup final but I certainly think they have to start building something for the future. There’s not an awful lot to play for after the cup final.

“I think looking at those two in a partnership and maybe another young centre-back in the squad, the days of Thiago Silva playing at Chelsea have got to come to an end.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has given his verdict on the 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
