Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has warned that it could be the "last part of the season" before captain Vincent Kompany returns.
Vincent Kompany's injury nightmare at Manchester City is no closer to a conclusion after manager Manuel Pellegrini announced his captain could be sidelined until the "last part of the season".
Club captain Kompany has been restricted to eight Premier League starts for City during the current campaign due to persistent calf problems.
His latest attempt at a comeback, as a second-half substitute during the 4-1 Boxing Day win over Sunderland, was cut short after nine minutes as injury stuck once more.
