Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola confirms Vincent Kompany will return to training next week after most recent setback
Belgian defender has been out of action for two months with a calf injury, but has received treatment from top doctor
PEP GUARDIOLA has confirmed he expects Vincent Kompany to be back in training next week after two months out with a calf injury.
The Belgium international has been to Barcelona this week for a check up with Pep's favoured doctor Ramon Cugat.
And Kompany has been given the green light to step up his recovery - so he should be back with his Man City team-mates in seven to ten days time.
Guardiola said: "Vincent just travelled to see Ramon to see how his injury is. It's much better.
"In the next seven to ten days he'll be coming back. It's a muscular injury."
Guardiola admitted several of his players were feeling the effects of their extra time win over Wolves in midweek.
However given that he made nine changes for the Carabao Cup tie, most of them are likely to sit out Saturday's trip to the Hawthorns anyway.
He said: "After the game, they were so tired.
"There were problems with a lot of kicks and it was such a demanding game for us.
"We make a recovery, yesterday we were off. Now the players have come in and we'll see how they are."
