Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits Kevin De Bruyne is not fully over his hamstring injury.
The Belgian is said to have experienced a slight recurrence of the problem that has kept him out for most of this season.
De Bruyne had been back in the team since the New Year, but was on the bench for their 1-0 win over Brentford on Tuesday.
We did not use Kevin today because he has niggles in his hamstring position," the Spaniard said post-game.
He's okay. It's more caution and prevention than anything.
He didn't feel comfortable and the doctors said there was a little bit of risk.
After five months off, we did not take any risk with that."
