Vincent Kompany concedes he may not be able to rely on his body to hold up to the demands he places on it – but has vowed never to give up in his battle against injury.
Having survived so many setbacks the Manchester City captain is in no mood to yield to injury now. In fact, he says, doing so is ‘not an option’.
Kompany played 90 minutes on his return after two months out with a knee problem in Saturday’s straight-forward 3-0 FA Cup win at Crystal Palace — the first time he has completed a game this season.
