Vincent Kompany injuries

[ganganvince]

Cheers.

Yea, looks like it’s too soon for him, I expect he makes bench at least.

What happened to using u23'S for game time

Good point. Last time a senior player played with u23’s was when Gundogan came back from injury if I’m not mistaken. Don’t know why we don’t use them tbh.

If there's one thing I hate in football, it's the lack of transparency and time frames for comeback around injuries.

It's basically non-existent.

Welcome back skipper!

 

[quiet_riot]

Starts today. Fingers crossed for him. potentially a massive boost for us.

 

[kaz7]

Hope he has come back the same and can run a bit too

 

[talkativesprout]

So fucking pleased for the lad. Imagine having been at the club as long as he has and having to sit and watch the team play its best stuff

Every time Vinny comes back from injury it almost feels like winning the league. It's amazing.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Yeeessss. The Captain is back. Great news. Come on VK show 'em all.

He may have been fit for a while but why break up a winning defence?

 

[Mancity1980]

Hopefully he can last long enough for stones to come back. I am not convinced he will though.

Surely if that was the case he'd have been on the bench instead of Mangala?

If he was fit i think he would have been in the Belgium squad.

Keeping Vinny fit is going to be absolutely crucial from now until Christmas. With the emergence of a new leader in John Stones we find ourselves with two excellent organisers, which is something that we lacked last season. With either in the side we are solid, but with both and KW and BM next season that's as good a defence as you're likely to find.

Realistically its difficult to imagine him playing in all the matches over the next 6 weeks so I would play him in the league games only and possibly rest him Southampton midweek.

Another great aspect of this seasons run is our position should give us a strong bargaining position in the January transfer window to sign another defender with a possible Premier league title to look forward too if the current trajectory is maintained.

 

[Aussie!]

Kompany will always be the leader as long as he is fit.

He holds the requisite command, respect, and passionate to lead this team.

 

[Marvin]

I would play Kompany in the League games. No point playing him in the midweek games at this stage of his recovery. Probably goes without saying!

At least we will have Kompany, and Otamendi now, which is a good pairing.
