Kompany recalled to Belgium squad

Vincent Kompany has been recalled by Belgium for their Euro 2020 qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Scotland.

The 33-year-old announced on Sunday that he is leaving Manchester City to rejoin Anderlecht as player-manager.

He has not played for Belgium since November 2018 but was a regular as City clinched a historic domestic treble.

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said: "He will be selected on his merit as a player, not as a coach. He will do everything to get to Euro 2020."
