Man City boss Pellegrini confident Kompany can handle two games in a week

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has no concerns playing skipper Vincent Kompany against Southampton.

The Belgium defender, who has been sidelined by a thigh problem, made his first appearance since October 5 on Wednesday when he played for the whole of the West Brom contest.

Regarding Kompany, Pellegrini said: "We will see if he can play two matches in less than three days. But he is okay.

"It is not an easy decision. But I think he finished the last game without any problem.

"We will wait to see that he has made the perfect recovery and I will decide. But I don't think it is a great risk for him to play another game."
