Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho has revealed that he will undergo a scan on his knee on Thursday.
The midfielder was forced out of the action early on in the second half of his side's victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
He went down holding his knee after blocking a shot from Paul Pogba shortly before half-time. He attempted to continue but Pep Guardiola decided not to take any chances after seeing him hobbling minutes after the break.
And following the game, Fernandinho said: 'We will see tomorrow. We are going to make the scan and we will see. I will talk to the doctor and he will make the best decision for everybody.
'When I blocked the shot from Paul (Pogba) I felt my knee. It twisted a little bit. I could continue playing but I came off. That's what it is.'
On the change, Guardiola said: 'Fernandinho had a problem at half-time in his legs, muscular. When he went down in the second half I didn't think he could continue.'
City will hope the 33-year-old will be able to prove his fitness for Sunday's trip to Burnley.
Pep Guardiola's men stayed on course to retain the Premier League title as second half goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane downed their local rivals.
They remain sone point clear of second-placed Liverpool with just three games remaining.
