Vincent Kompany, the captain of Manchester City, will remain unavailable for the upcoming Champions League match against CSKA Moscow. The Belgian international continues to struggle with a thigh injury, and despite resuming training, he hasn’t fully recovered in time for the crucial fixture.
Kompany has been sidelined for over two weeks since sustaining the injury during Manchester City’s Premier League match against Everton on October 5. Although he resumed training last Friday, the CSKA Moscow clash comes too soon for his return. This setback extends the period of absence for the central defender, who withdrew from the recent Premier League victory against West Ham.
His absence is a significant blow to Manchester City, as Kompany plays a crucial role in the heart of their defense and is also the team’s captain. The Citizens will have to navigate the Champions League encounter without his leadership and defensive skills.
