Vincent Kompany went off late in Manchester City's win at Swansea, but Gael Clichy is hopeful he will stay fit.
Gael Clichy is hopeful Vincent Kompany has overcome his injury issues, despite the Manchester City captain leaving the pitch late in a 2-1 EFL Cup victory over Swansea City.
Having just returned from a lengthy injury lay-off, Belgium defender Kompany was excellent for City in his first appearance since May, as second-half strikes from Clichy and Aleix Garcia set up a fourth-round clash with rivals Manchester United.
However, the victory was soured somewhat by the sight of Kompany leaving the field of play in stoppage time - moments after Gylfi Sigurdsson netted a consolation goal for Swansea - but Clichy believes that his team-mate will be able to continue his return to full fitness.
