Man City skipper Kompany set for Belgium return

Vincent Kompany is set to return to action from a two-month calf injury layoff on Tuesday.

The Manchester City captain is set to start for Belgium in their World Cup qualifier against Macedonia in Brussels despite not playing in the Premier League since January 26.

"Kompany is ready for it. He has been training without problem and he has felt no adverse reaction," said Belgium boss Marc Wilmots.

Belgium sit top of Group A qualifying on 13 points from five matches, ahead of Croatia on goal difference whilst Macedonia are second bottom with just four points.
