City allay Kompany fears ahead of Wigan clash

Manchester City have no concerns over the fitness of captain Vincent Kompany ahead of tonight’s trip to Wigan.

It had been speculated the 26-year-old central defender might be given a rest, having defied a knee injury he picked up against Real Madrid last week to play the whole 90 minutes at Chelsea on Sunday.

The Belgian was man of the match in that 0-0 draw and City’s first-team coach David Platt says a second match in quick succession will not present a problem.
