Kompany was replaced by summer signing Nicolas Otamendi after 75 minutes, with the game finely balanced at 1-1.
Alvaro Morata scored the winner for Juve just six minutes later, but that disappointment looks unlikely to be compounded by a lay-off for their skipper.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini suggested the 29-year-old would be in contention for Saturday's Premier League meeting with West Ham, and Kompany shares that optimism.
"It was just a precaution," he said. "It is not serious, I know my body."
Defeat to Massimiliano Allegri's side continued a frustrating sequence for City, who have been notoriously slow starters in Europe over recent seasons, albeit against some illustrious opponents including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
However, Kompany was not downcast about his team's efforts on Tuesday night.
The City skipper's injury also meant he got to share the field with his Belgium team-mate Kevin De Bruyne for only a few minutes on his home debut, as a 75th replacement for Samir Nasri.
The £54.5m signing had a quiet time, but his captain believes that was largely down to Juve's methods.
"We played against a very good team, last year's finalists, and they did very well. We are a little unhappy but we can take confidence to the next game," Kompany said.
