Manchester City received a boost on Thursday as they were
able to welcome club captain Vincent Kompany back to first-
team training.
The Belgium international centre-back has been absent for
Manuel Pellegrini’s side since limping off during the Boxing
Day victory over Sunderland, having endured a relapse of a
calf problem that had kept him out for a little over a month
only nine minutes after coming on as a substitute.
City have enjoyed a six-match unbeaten run in the Premier
Division without the 29-year-old, yet they have drawn three
of those matches.
Look who's back! #mcfc

Pellegrini will reveal on Friday when he expects the defender
to return to competitive action, and the odds look stacked
against him featuring during Saturday’s top-of-the-table
clash against Leicester at the Etihad.
Kompany has turned out in only 12 competitive matches for
City so far this term. When on the field in his Premier League
encounters, Pellegrini's outfit have conceded only once in
729 minutes.
