Scarred Manchester City captain Kompany insists injuries will not break him

The centre-back is admant he will keep fighting through injury setbacks to save his top-flight career after a difficult spell

Vincent Kompany is determined not to be defeated by on-going injury woes after his latest Manchester City comeback and concedes he can sometimes be his own worst enemy.

The 30-year-old centre-back suffered the 37th injury of his eight-and-a-half-year City career at Crystal Palace in November, when he collided with goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and landed awkwardly to sustain knee ligament damage.

It was a particularly cruel blow for the Belgium international, with the injury unrelated to the muscular problems that severely hindered his 2015-16 campaign before denying him a place at Euro 2016.
