Injured Kompany to miss own testimonial

Manchester City great Vincent Kompany says he will not play in his testimonial on Wednesday night due to a hamstring injury.

A host of City and Premier League legends are set to turn out for Kompany’s testimonial at the Etihad Stadium, on Wednesday evening.

Mario Balotelli, Thierry Henry, Ryan Giggs, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie are among the star names who will be in action.

“Unfortunately I won’t be starting tonight or playing. It’s typical of me, right? I’m usually just there for the end of the season,” Kompany said.

“I’ve got a slight hamstring injury. I couldn’t risk it tonight.
