Bravo, signed from Barcelona in 2016, is the backup to Ederson Moraes at City and mostly used in domestic cup competitions.
Daniel Grimshaw, aged 20, is the only other goalkeeper in the first-team squad. He has not yet made a senior appearance.
Bravo tweeted: "No matter what happens, or how bad it looks today, life will go on, and tomorrow will certainly be better."
