De Villiers suffered the injury during his half-century in South Africa's three-wicket victory over India in Nagpur on Saturday and was forced to bat with a runner.
South Africa coach Corrie van Zyl said Monday the injury was not "major".
"We are waiting for the doctor's report," he said.
De Villiers is the tournament's third-highest scorer with 318 runs after Indian openers Virender Sehwag (327) and Sachin Tendulkar (324). He has already made two hundreds and one half-century in four matches.
De Villiers, originally named in the squad as a wicketkeeper-batsman, did not keep wickets in the last two matches.
South Africa have also yet to decide whether to name leg-spinner Imran Tahir in their playing eleven for Tuesday's match.
Tahir, his team's leading wicket-taker with 11 victims, also missed the last game against India due to the fractured left thumb.
