City expect to know how severe the latest setback is for Kompany on Monday, with the centre-back also poised to skipper Belgium at Euro 2016.

The Belgium defender limped out of City’s Champions League semi-final defeat to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu after just 10 minutes on Wednesday.

The Chilean said: “Every time he was in the starting XI it was because he was fully fit to play – you can be absolutely sure (of that)”.

With two games of the season remaining, Arsenal are still to secure a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. “We’ve always received support of the fans, so we’re really happy with them”.

“I will have emotions on Sunday but I prefer not to show them in an external way. If not the probability of a bad decision is quite high”. “They needed their big players to perform tonight and they never turned up”.
