Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is unlikely to face Real Madrid in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg because of a thigh injury.
Toure was hurt late on in Saturday's 4-0 win over Stoke but stayed on as they had used their three substitutes.Captain Vincent Kompany, who has only played 20 times this season for the club, says he is "100% fit" after repeated calf injuries.
Real are bringing all their players to Manchester despite injury concerns.
They are hopeful Cristiano Ronaldo will be fit despite missing Saturday's 3-2 win over Rayo Vallecano with a thigh injury.
But fellow forward Karim Benzema is a doubt after limping out of the match in the first half.
Toure, 32, has featured in all but one of City's Champions League matches during a campaign that has seen them reach the last four for the first time.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini has not ruled the player out of next week's second leg in Spain, saying the club will assess his fitness over the coming nine days.
