Injuries.

I'm going to take Pellegrini at his word on this. He says Kompany is going with Belgium more for moral support than anything else.
If he does end up playing any minutes then it's a bit disappointing tbh. I love the man but it'd be a bit of a piss take after his lay off.

So if he is fit, he shouldn't play because he missed the last club game?

If he's fit, as a City fan I'd want him to play because he needs games. He comes back in now, it'll take him a couple of games to be back to his best

No, I don't think he should play. He's missed more than the last game. His injury saw the beginning of our run of poor results and the back four have been a shambles without him.
Belgium should be able to win their two games without giving Kompany minutes. As a City fan I'd rather give him an extra fortnight to manage his calf correctly and return to us 100% fit.
 
In my opinion I think it's time for clubs to get together to make a stand for this. I think it should be written into a players contract that the club won't stand in the way of them playing for their country but if they come back injured and not fit for purpose then it hits the player in the pocket.
At the end of the day it is the club who pays these players millions of pounds but it is always the club that suffers. How ironic that towards the end of the Newcastle game we subbed silva and sergio to save them yet days later they are now not fit for purpose.
This could cost us the title, next round of cups etc whilst paying the best part of 300 grand a week in wages.
This might make a player think twice about playing a friendly during a crucial part of the domestic season against Uzbekistan or the jibrovian best eleven
Someone should be accountable
All in my opinion. :-)

It's all well and good us putting together our strongest ever squad but are we ever going to see a fully fit strongest City 11 play regularly?

Vinny, Yaya, Silva and Kun cannot have played many games together over the past few seasons due to injuries and AFCON.

An extended run with the following would take some stopping;

------------------- Hart ------------------
Zab --------- Vinny --- Ota ------ Clichy
--------------- Yaya --- Dinho -----------
Sterling ----------- Silva ------------ KDB
---------------------- Kun -----------------

Not a bad take on the situation Jayblue ,presumably FIFA arrange these breaks and fixtures. The fixtures themselves are laughable along with some of the teams in them but with TV deals they earn funds for FIFA or their officials ?.The players come back injured and in the end the clubs pay the penalties. Unless some arrangement is sorted it will continue.

Last word was from Belgium coach who said he could be fit for their second game which goes against mp who said he has gone just to support them as he is not fit to play until after the break
