Vincent Kompany suffers more injury woe as Manchester City defender is ruled out of Belgium's Estonia qualifier

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has been ruled out of Belgium's World Cup qualifier against Estonia on Sunday in the latest blow of his injury-plagued season.

Kompany pulled out of Wednesday's friendly against Holland minutes before kick off and concerned manager Roberto Martinez has vowed not to gamble with the 30-year-old who has only made four appearances this season.

'Vincent had discomfort in his groin area. He didn't train on Friday and I am not going to take him into consideration for Sunday,' said Martinez.
