'It's tough when you're not playing the minutes you want to': Bernardo Silva admits he has sympathy for Manchester City team-mate Raheem Sterling after winger suggested he may have to leave for regular football

Manchester City's Bernardo Silva has expressed sympathy for team-mate Raheem Sterling who has suggested he may have to leave the club to play regular first-team football.

Sterling was given only his third Premier League start of the season in the 2-0 win against Burnley but it was Bernardo who stole the show with the opening goal before Kevin De Bruyne sealed the points in the second half.

'The amount of good players we have in this squad is crazy,' said the Portuguese international.
