MANCHESTER -- Vincent Kompany is back in the Manchester City squad for Sunday's trip to Everton after missing the last eight weeks with a knee ligament injury.
Kompany, 30, has not played a full match this season and picked up his latest injury in just his second Premier League start this term -- when he collided with City keeper Claudio Bravo in the 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Nov. 19.
City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted to have the Belgium international back but told a news conference that he does not want him to be under too much pressure with the club captain plagued by persistent injuries for the past two-and-a-half seasons.
