Kompany in fresh injury setback
Manchester City could be without captain Vincent Kompany for up to four weeks with the calf injury that kept him out of Tuesday s goalless draw at Leicester.

Manchester City’s club captain Vincent Kompany aired his frustrations regarding his fresh injury blow in an emotionally charged statement on his official Facebook page. “We defended well and closed the space well, but we need to improve when we want to go straight away and score the goal”.
The defender, though, was forced to return to Manchester after taking part in light training with Belgium, and spent the next seven weeks recovering before Saturday’s comeback was aborted with a recurrence of the injury.
“We will see with the doctor’s report but it is the same injury, the same calf”.
Back-to-back wins over Crystal Palace and Stoke City were supposed to be the catalyst that resulted in Sunderland slowly climbing the league. The spirit we showed at Arsenal last season, then this year in wins against Stoke and Palace. “And we won titles, and the last six games [of last season] without him”.
City’s defence failed to keep a clean sheet against a woeful Sunderland side on Saturday, allowing Fabio Borini time and space for a consolation goal after taking a 4-0 lead by the 54th minute.
“Some players raised their performance and the team played the way we normally do every day of the week”. ‘Injuries have and still are preventing me to play my role the way I’d want to but it’s not stopping me to progress, ‘ he added.
Leicester finish 2015 joint-top of the tree having started the year on the bottom, but Ranieri predicted 2016 would be even better.
He said: “I said when we lost to Arsenal that we prove a lot”. The first half of the season is magnificent and I don’t have words to say how happy I am.

The Argentina global, 27, has looked more comfortable in the Premier League than Mangala since he signed from Valencia for £28.5m in the summer, taking manager Manuel Pellegrini’s spending on the pair to £70m following Mangala’s arrival from Porto 12 months earlier. “But if we win there we are on the same amount of points and we are there on top of the table with some other teams so at the moment everything is fine”. It s not easy for us but we want to fight with everybody. It is fantastic what we’re doing. We have got players who are saying they deserve a chance in the team.
