City have Kompany worry

Cape Town - Manchester City will be anxiously waiting for confirmation that the knee injury suffered by Vincent Kompany on Friday is not serious.

The Citizens skipper was forced off during the first half of Belgium's Euro 2016 qualifier against Andorra, with the defender later seen with ice on his knee.

However, the injury is not believed to be too serious, with Kompany immediately looking to play down the severity.

"I came off as a precaution," Kompany told RTBF. "Before the game, I already had a slight problem and the coach decided to take me out. I am now getting ready for Bosnia. It was not easy out there."

Belgium completed a regulation victory over their visitors, with Marc Wilmots men easing to a 6-0 win.
