Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City's David Silva has been ruled out for three to four months with a knee injury, meaning he will miss this weekend's crucial derby against Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.
Silva suffered the injury in City's 2-0 League Cup defeat by Newcastle on Wednesday night, when he was forced off in the ninth minute.
The Spain playmaker had a scan on his knee yesterday which showed ligament damage.
In addition to the United tie, Silva will also miss the Champions League matches against CSKA Moscow and potentially Bayern Munich too at the end of next month.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini said today: "David is a very important player but we have a squad and we will have to replace him with another player."
