Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has allayed fears over a serious injury after being pictured without crutches.
The German international was forced off in the Carabao Cup against West Brom on Wednesday night.
Gundogan, who was making his first start for nine months following a knee injury, was on the receiving end of a poor challenge from Claudio Yacob.
Pep Guardiola was hopeful the injury wasn't a serious one and Gundogan was pictured walking in Manchester city centre without crutches.
He appeared in a positive mood and posed for photographs with supporters.
Discussing Gundogan's injury, Guardiola said: "It is from behind, I don't know if he touched the ball but fortunately Gundogan is coming back soon.
“But I suffered for Gundogan at that moment, he was on the grass and you cannot imagine being eight months out fighting everyday alone with the physio and then to be injured.
"In that moment it is so tough but fortunately it is not serious.”
Gundogan has experienced serious back and knee injuries during his career already and had set City on their way in the West Midlands, his excellent pass teeing up Leroy Sane for the opening goal after just three minutes.
Sane, who has begun the season with four goals in just 222 minutes of action, was praised by Guardiola after the game also.
“I am so happy for the players, Leroy plays so good not just in terms of goals but in terms of how he keeps the ball.”
