Manchester City faced a setback during the match against Everton (2-1 at half-time) in the 7th day of the Premier League as Vincent Kompany, the captain of City and the Belgian national team, had to request a change shortly after the half-hour mark. Unfortunately, the bad luck persisted for the Belgian international of Congolese origin (DRC), as he was forced to leave the pitch after 34 minutes of play due to an apparent injury to the right groin.
This injury brings unwelcome news for the Belgium coach, as Kompany’s availability for Belgium’s last two World Cup qualifying matches is now uncertain. If the injury is confirmed, Kompany could be sidelined for the upcoming matches against Croatia on October 11 and Wales on October 15. This recurrence of injury concerns is particularly disappointing as Kompany had already withdrawn from a previous match in Scotland for similar reasons, raising concerns about his ability to contribute to the national team in the upcoming crucial fixtures.
