Manchester City plan to treat captain Vincent Kompany with care after head injury, reveals manager Pep Guardiola

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his club will treat Vincent Kompany's latest injury with care.

The Belgian centre-back suffered a head injury in a collision with his own goalkeeper Claudio Bravo in the 2-1 win away to Crystal Palace and he will be assessed ahead of the Champions League group stage tie against Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday.

Guardiola, whose side's victory was secured by a brace from Yaya Toure after his first-team exile, said about Kompany: 'He had a problem with his head. (He got) a kick. Now we're going to control him. You have to be careful with head injuries.
