The defender, who has been sidelined since August by a calf problem, is yet to return to training with his table-topping teammates
Vincent Kompany was not involved as Manchester City trained in front of the media ahead of their Champions League clash with Napoli.
Pep Guardiola said last week he was expecting the defender, who has been sidelined since August by a calf problem, to be back in training in the "next week to 10 days".
Also missing from the session at City's training ground on Tuesday morning was injured full-back Benjamin Mendy.
