Vincent Kompany Faces Injury Concerns Ahead of Belgium’s Match Against Australia
Belgium captain and Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany missed training ahead of his side’s upcoming friendly against Australia, raising fresh concerns about his fitness.
The experienced centre-back sustained a calf injury during the Belgian national team’s training camp this week as the Red Devils prepared for their Thursday night clash with the Socceroos. According to reports from Sky Sports, Belgium’s medical staff have expressed worries over the severity of the injury.
Kompany was taken to hospital for a scan on Wednesday, though the exact details and extent of the damage remain unclear. The 30-year-old’s recovery will be closely monitored, particularly given Manchester City’s looming Champions League campaign, which kicks off in the coming days.
This setback is a blow to both Belgium and Manchester City, as Kompany has been a key defensive figure for club and country. His leadership and defensive prowess will be missed if he is unable to recover in time for upcoming fixtures.
Manchester City fans will be hoping for a swift and full recovery to ensure their captain can return to action without jeopardising his role in the Premier League and Europe’s premier club competition.
