Pep Guardiola will have to wait for a doctors assessment on Leroy Sane's injury but admitted that his first impression was not good.
The Manchester City winger was forced off after just 13 minutes with a knee injury and had to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus after landing awkwardly under pressure from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Germany international reappeared on the touchline in the second half to watch his teammates win the penalty shootout against Liverpool 5-4 to clinch the Community Shield and he had his right knee in heavy strapping.
"The first impression was not good. But I think not bad I don't know as I have not spoken to the doctor. I will wait but I think he will be okay," Guardiola said.
The winger is subject to intense transfer speculation at the moment as Bayern Munich try and lure the 23-year-old to the Bundesliga.
Guardiola revealed on Friday that the Germany international had been close to agreeing terms on a new deal a month or so ago but the situation had since changed.
Sane has still to indicate what he wants to do, and no formal bids made - despite reports in Germany - the club is confident that they hold all the aces.
But with Bayern talking about a fee of between £90million and £100million, it is clear that the valuation comes nowhere near that of the Blues.
City maintain that they do not want to sell Sane, and will only do so if the player - who has not revealed his intentions - tells them he wants to go.
If Sane does decide he want to return to Germany, City would be looking for a fee in the region of £145million - second only to Neymar's world record fee of £198million.
