Vincent Kompany is in contention to make a surprise return from injury to face Paris Saint-Germain in Manchester City's Champions League quarter-final second-leg next Tuesday.

The City captain has been out of action with a calf problem since the round of 16 second-leg against Dynamo Kiev three weeks ago.

But despite initial fears that he could miss the rest of the season, Kompany has returned to training in recent days and City manager Manuel Pellegrini admits that the defender could play against PSG at the Etihad next week.

PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Show all 22 1 /22 PSG vs Manchester City player ratings PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Kevin Trapp - 5 out of 10 He will be disappointed that he did not stand up to De Bruyne for longer and smother himself on the shot. Three efforts on target and two goals conceded does not make pretty reading. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Serge Aurier - 5 out of 10 On a night of dreadful defending, his hopeless stumble to the floor when met with a tame cross from Sagna was the nadir. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Thiago Silva – 5 out of 10 He should share the blame for Fernandinho’s equaliser with Aurier, so slow he was to react. Poorly marshalled a defence that was, at times, truly shambolic. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings David Luiz – 6 out of 10 His early yellow card had him on the back foot from the off but he recovered relatively well, putting in one of his less chaotic displays. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Maxwell – 6 out of 10 Neat in his passing but offered little forward momentum when his side had the ball. Defensively, the best of a bad bunch. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Adrien Rabiot – 7 out of 10 Alert to pounce on Hart’s parry and turn in PSG’s second but was robbed too easily by Fernando for the City’s first. 2016 Getty Images PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Thiago Motta – 7 out of 10 Gradually began to get a handle on things as the game went on but will be disappointed that City’s best moves originated from the middle of the park. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Blaise Matuidi – 5 out of 10 Beaten in the air too often, did not impose himself in the midfield battle. A disappointment and will miss the second leg through suspension. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Angel Di María – 6 out of 10 Failed to sparkle in the same way he did against Chelsea but, through several key passes, showed glimpses of his ability. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Zlatan Ibrahimovic – 5 out of 10 Hart took the plaudits for his penalty save but in truth, it was a poor spot-kick. The Swede was then fortunate to benefit from Fernando’s daydreaming. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Edinson Cavani – 7 out of 10 The power on one of his header’s was too much for Hart to handle and ultimately set up Rabiot’s goal, though it was another night where he could’ve given more. 2016 Getty Images PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Joe Hart – 7 out of 10 Stared down Ibrahimovic, which is no mean feat, before denying him from 12 yards out but undid much of his good work by not giving Fernando a shout before the equaliser. Getty PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Bacary Sagna – 5 out of 10 A combination of clumsiness and hesitation led to him conceding the early penalty and he looked rocked from there on, almost scoring an own goal after the break, but at least had a hand in Fernandinho’s goal. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Nicolas Otamendi – 5 out of 10 Marginally better than his defensive partner but even so, it was his mis-step which led to the corner Rabiot scored from. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Eliaquim Mangala – 5 out of 10 Perhaps fortunate not to concede a penalty in the opening minutes, his composure did not recover from there on. 2016 Getty Images PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Gael Clichy – 7 out of 10 The most competent member of City’s defence, if only because he was the one player to not make a glaring error. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Fernando – 3 out of 10 He had looked quite composed in the first half and it was his tackle that set the move leading to De Bruyne’s goal in motion but after his blunder, the head went out the window with City’s lead. 2016 Getty Images PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Fernandinho – 8 out of 10 Bundled an equaliser in after setting up De Bruyne’s opener and, all told, put in the most rounded performance of the night. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Jesus Navas – 6 out of 10 His mini-renaissance continues but it’s a muted one. Although he’s improved markedly, will need to start making more of an impact if he is to be kept on. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings David Silva – 6 out of 10 Failed to impose himself on the match and exert the kind of influence he is capable of. Disappointing. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Kevin de Bruyne – 8 out of 10 Accused in the past of being flat-track bully, he showed tonight he can be a player for the big occasion. A brilliant finish for his goal. PSG vs Manchester City player ratings Sergio Aguero – 6 out of 10 A livewire early on, he seemed to relish the opportunity to perform on this elite stage, but faded as the Ligue 1 side’s backline got to grips with him.

"We'll see him during the week and what he improves," Pellegrini said. "The last few days he's worked very well.

"Now we must test him with more intensity and its very difficult to tell now."

Kompany has been plagued by injury problems in recent seasons and the Belgian has missed two thirds of City's competitive fixtures this term.
