Manchester City could have Kolo Toure back for their game against West Ham United.
Scans revealed that the defender's calf sustained no serious damage after he limped out of the 1-0 win against Bolton Wanderers last weekend.
"I felt tightness in my calf so as a precaution I came off, but it’s not looking as bad as we first thought and I’m hoping I will be available for selection for West Ham on Saturday," Toure told the club's official website.
“Obviously if there is even the slightest doubt, I will maybe rest it for a few more days, but as things stand, it’s not looking too bad.”
The Ivory Coast international has been in good form this season ,alongside centre-back partner Vincent Kompany. And he expects West Ham, and future games, to be tough as the club look to win the Premier League.
"It’s going to be a tough game, but Upton Park is a ground I’ve always enjoyed playing at," he said.
“It should be a good game and we will be looking to extend our unbeaten run to eight games.
"The consistency is coming, but we still need to take each game as it comes and not think that because we are playing the team at the bottom of the table that things will be easier.
"In fact, I think the wins will be harder to come by because we are riding high near the top and the teams we play will be more cautious and treat us a bigger scalp
"We need to keep doing what we’ve been doing in the last month and be more focused than ever."
