Highlights of the EFL Cup 3rd round match between Swansea and Man City
City manager Pep Guardiola said: "The doctors are speaking with him and seeing what's up.
"Hopefully, it will not be a big problem. We're going to wait for the results from the doctors."
Asked if he had spoken with Kompany, Guardiola added: "No, not yet.
"(His performance) was good. It's not easy after a long, long time without playing. Defensively, he was so strong - he played really good.
"Once they scored the goal, after I said: 'What happened?' They said that Vincent had gone to the locker room. Hopefully, it will not be a big problem. We will have to wait.
"If he's injured, he's injured. He cannot stay on the pitch."
City recorded their ninth successive win under Guardiola, despite starting with a team that showed nine changes following last weekend's 4-0 win against Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Swansea, who have now gone four league and cup games without a victory, had their moments in an entertaining encounter but the visitors had an extra touch of class about them.
"[Garcia] played good, and I want to congratulate the young players tonight. They played good," Guardiola said.
"Fernando made an amazing effort, because he had been injured for the last two weeks. He played a fantastic game."
Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin, meanwhile, praised his players after they delivered a vastly improved display following last Sunday's tame 1-0 defeat against Southampton.
"I am disappointed because I think we deserved another result," he said.
"We deserved to draw and take it to extra time. The game was well-balanced and the performance of my team was good.
"It is not a good moment for us. Little things are going against us, we are missing chances.
"Manchester City are a very good team, even though they changed their players around. But I am optimistic, as I saw my team play a good game."
Asked whether he was feeling any pressure after the Swans' recent run of results, he added: "It has not affected me.
"This is my job. With my experience, I know football is like this. it does not bring any added pressure for me. I have to work with my players, my staff and to pick up better results."
