Pep Guardiola admits Vincent Kompany’s Man City career could be over

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is not sure what the future holds for Vincent Kompany. The 32-year-old Kompany is on the treatment table again and has not featured since the victory over Liverpool on January 3. The City boss said: “It’s an issue that we have to speak with Vincent about. “We don’t have any doubts about his quality, we miss him when he is not able to play. He’s important, he is our captain and on the field, he gives us extra that few central defenders around the world can give us. “He’s incredible but the reality is in the last five years he’s played few games, really few.” Guardiola says City will look to do the right thing by Kompany after his outstanding service to the club. He added: “I would like to feel that the club knows the sentimental issue is so important. I don’t like the clubs to say, ‘OK, it’s done, go’. “At the same time, there is a moment when it’s over for everybody. That’s why I said, ‘It’s not my decision’. I spoke many times with him about the reality of what he can do to help, but it’s his decision — with the club and his agent.”
