Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola played down concerns over Vincent Kompany after the defender missed the FA Cup tie against Huddersfield Town.
Captain Kompany was expected to be involved in the goalless draw, but pulled out because of a leg problem.
The 30-year-old Belgian has been dogged by groin and calf injuries and has played only 341 minutes of football this season.
"Kompany was not able to play today but it is not a big issue," said Guardiola.
The centre-back played the full 90 minutes in the previous round against Crystal Palace in January, but has not appeared since and was in line to make his comeback against the Terriers in West Yorkshire.
