Gonzalez was forced off in the 57th minute of Tuesday's 2-0 win over Villarreal due to a knock on his feet, coach Pep Guardiola said in a press conference, according to the Manchester Evening News. "Nico had a knock on his feet, we will see."

Gonzalez will be assessed in the coming days after suffering a knock to his foot in Tuesday's Champions League clash against Villarreal. A potential absence of the Spaniard would be a blow for Manchester City since Rodri (hamstring) is also sidelined for some time, leaving limited options in defensive midfield. Mateo Kovacic is expected to have a greater role despite not being fully fit if both are unavailable.
