Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Vincent Kompany will play again this season.

Guardiola was confident last week that the Belgium international could play in tomorrow night's FA Cup replay against Huddersfield.

But the leg injury he suffered prior to the initial tie is worse than initially though – and he will not play against the Terriers.

Guardiola said: “He will not play tomorrow but he is much better – and he will play soon."

Asked if he will have a role to play in the remainder of the season, the City boss said: “Yeah definitely."
