Bernardo Silva will be assessed at Manchester City on Thursday amid early hopes over the injury.
Pep Guardiola pulled the Portugal international out of the Champions League tie with Crvena Zvezda on Wednesday night before half-time, with Jeremy Doku taking his place. The City boss told reporters after the game that Silva would miss the "next games", although he admitted he hadn't spoken with his medical team about it.
Silva will be looked over to determine the extent of his problem, but the early indications were that the injury was not serious and he may not be out for long at all. That would help a squad that is already without four first team stars in Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, John Stones, and Mateo Kovacic.

City take on Nottingham Forest at home in the Premier League on Saturday before heading to the north-east for a Carabao Cup tie in midweek against Newcastle. Guardiola has already suggested he will have to play some academy prospects at St James' Park because of the injury situation. While the manager said after Silva's withdrawal that the team is 'in trouble' with their situation, having the 29-year-old Silva available for Newcastle or even Forest would significantly boost the team.
Despite another summer where he was open to leaving for a new challenge, Silva stayed at the Etihad for another season and signed a contract extension. He has started the season in excellent form, picking up a goal and assist in the comeback win over West Ham at the weekend.
