Man City skipper Kompany cools injury fears

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has played down fresh injury fears.

He was substituted in the 55th minute, with pictures emerging of the central defender appearing to be given some treatment to his right leg.

But Kompany is insistent that his withdrawal - Belgium were already three goals up against Andorra - was merely a precaution.

"Before the game I already had a slight problem and the coach decided to take me out," Kompany told RTBF.

"I am now getting ready for Bosnia. It was not easy out there."
