City waiting to discover extent of latest Kompany woes

Vincent Kompany's fifth injury of the campaign will rule him out of Manchester City's match with Arsenal, with the captain undergoing tests.

Captain Vincent Kompany will miss Manchester City's crunch Premier League clash against Arsenal but the full extent of his latest injury is not yet known.

Kompany was substituted during the early stages of Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League semifinal defeat to Real Madrid having suffered the fifth injury of a heavily disrupted season.

The 30-year-old's problem on this occasion appeared to be a groin strain as opposed to a recurrence of the calf injuries that have dogged his progress and called into question whether he can continue to hold a prominent role in the City squad under Manuel Pellegrini's successor Pep Guardiola next season.
