Manchester City's Vincent Kompany down after latest injury setback - Pep

Vincent Kompany is feeling down after suffering yet another injury setback, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed.

The City captain is facing a number of weeks on the sidelines after sustaining knee ligament damage in Saturday's Premier League victory at Crystal Palace.

The 30-year-old had been making just his fifth appearance of the season when he collided with goalkeeper Claudio Bravo at Selhust Park and was also concussed.

It is Kompany's 35th separate injury since joining City in 2008 and it is the third to have hampered him in this campaign alone.

"For the next weeks he's injured,'' said Guardiola, speaking at a press conference in Dusseldorf to preview Wednesday's Champions League game at Borussia Monchengladbach.
