Expert view: Why Kompany gets injured and how Man City can stop it

With the Manchester City captain suffering an injury-hit season and facing a summer of rehabilitation, Goal has turned to a bio mechanics expert to shed some light on his struggles.

With seemingly no end to Vincent Kompany's injury woes, fans of Manchester City and Belgium alike may be concerned about his long-term future in the game.

Kompany has battled back from 14 separate calf injuries during his time at City but is now sidelined for four months after undergoing surgery on a ruptured thigh muscle.

He has missed 31 City matches through injury this season and on three occasions he has picked up an injury within 10 minutes of setting foot on the pitch.
