If he does, that would end his City career. He's been immense for us but I get the feeling that Pep is looking for an excuse (if that is the right word) to reshape the defence and VK, being the fulcrum at the back is always going to be vulnerable to change.
He isn't the fulcrum of the defence, he hasn't been playing. Pep doesn't need an 'excuse' as he already had a perfectly good one, the fact VK is always injured.
Pep is hoping he gets fit, because he's twice as good as Otamendi or Stones. He's not going to sack him in November, for not being fit, he's going to hope someone gets him fit. If they don't, eventually, then reluctantly, he'll move him on, not in November.
The deadline for Kompany being written off, is the day we have 4 top cbs who can all play in his place & do th same job.
We currently have half of one, in Stones, a couple of kids & several who will never lace his boots.
