Vincent Kompany injuries

[Pete Campbell]

Yeh I'd say a few weeks away still. All of our fingers crossed that he is fit for the rest of the season.

Done great without him for once.

We haven't accounted for issues in training.. It's more likely the intensity of our training will bring up an injury before a first team game does.

 

[Blue Til Death]

I just hope he gets sorted and gets back to being what he was, the best defender in the world...

The question is would he start ahead of the current pairing and if not were does he fit for game time with Tosin and Danilo?

Otemendi is out of Saturday's game, so he probably starts if fit.

Otamendi's out?!!!!! Since when ;-)

 

[Norbiton]

Since picking up his fifth yellow card against Arsenal

 

[journolud]

Sorry, should have read back before being a smartarse.

Certainly wont be match fit and I think far too much of a risk to play him so soon

Not bsure what it has to do with VK but i agree. I never understood what people saw in Kolarovr, takeaway the hardman stuff and his decent left foort and you have a championship defender.

Kolarov is playing really well at Roma because they play him as a wing back higher up the pitch in a fluid formation where he can cause mayhem. Playing in a flat back four where there's more tackling involved isn't his strength. He looks a player reborn. I always felt sorry for him - not the most appreciated player at City.

He always starts the season well.

Will the alternatives have any better match fitness though?

It could be a tough game for our CBs, with the pace they have, Vardy also has a habit of simulation to win penalties.

The match referee is very inexperienced.

Unfortunately your sentiments have been voiced many times and he only lasts a few games.

I appreciate your comment but for me, playing Vinnie too soon could set him back again. Not long to find out though

No chance of that happening.

Vinny has been out for a couple of months , during that period we have'nt missed him because Otto & Stones have been superb , Otto is now banned so Vinny has to be risked , he is the natural replacement , its a make or break few weeks for our captain because i believe if he breaks down again Pep will be signing a top class centre back in January , sincerely hope Vinny plays on Saturday and does the business.

Dreamt last night that he plays on Saturday - I woke up before the match ended so can’t predict how long he’ll last, sorry!

Just thought I'd mention on here, Vincent is back in full training with the rest of the squad. Apparently he's not far off being back at all.

I will take a 90% fit Vinnie over anyone, hope he plays on Saturday if this is the case..!
