Manchester City have injury concerns over Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure and Joe Hart ahead of their Champions League trip to Germany.
City take on Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday and boss Manuel Pellegrini admitted after the 4-1 Premier League defeat at Tottenham on Saturday that none of his key trio are certain to play.
Kompany's place on the City bench at White Hart Lane was taken by youngster George Evans after he suffered a recurrence of his calf injury during the warm-up.
Hart was not risked in north London because of a back injury he sustained in training, with Willy Caballero having a day he would rather forget after being handed a rare start in goal.
To add to Pellegrini's troubles, Toure had to be withdrawn from the game 10 minutes into the second half with what was described as a hamstring injury - he will have a scan before a decision is made over taking him to Germany.
"I don't think Kompany will be okay for the Champions League," said Pellegrini, who was also without David Silva because of a calf problem.
"He injured his calf against Juventus but he did not recover 100 per cent. He was fit enough to be on the bench but he felt problems in his calf in the warm-up.
"Joe had a problem in his back during the week, and he worked for just one day, that's why we decided he missed the game.
"Yaya had some problems in his hamstring. I don't know how serious, we must wait until tomorrow or Monday. We'll see what the doctor says."
