Kevin De Bruyne feels that the hamstring injury which forced him off at Bournemouth is not too serious.
The Manchester City midfield ace will be having further tests and scans tomorrow to determine the extent of the problem.
Recall that the Belgian was forced off after 45’minutes at the Vitality Stadium in Saturday.
Riyad Mahrez came in for Kevin De Bruyne and he got the much need lone goal as Man City go top of the league following Liverpool's goalless draw against Everton on Sunday.
“It happens, you know. I don’t think it’s too bad this time,” De Bruyne said.
“I felt a little bit tight at the end of the half. I did one action with the pass and I didn’t feel too comfortable so I just took myself out. It’s better not to take a risk.”
Asked if he could be out for a while, De Bruyne replied: “I hope not. I felt something but I don’t think its going to be too severe.
"I felt it in my hammy.”
And he said he was not going to miss the celebrations on the pitch, hamstring twinge or not: “I’m still part of the team and I felt we played brilliantly.
“Bournemouth were here just to keep the nil and to attack the way we had to for 90 minutes was so tough. So I thought we did a really good job.
“Every game is like a cup final. But we played before them (Liverpool) so it’s very important not to drop points.
“I preferred last year because we knew last year that we were probably going to win it. But in the end we cannot do anything about it. They are doing incredibly well and we are the same.”
