​Man City skipper Kompany given assurance over Etihad future

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been responding to speculation whether captain Vincent Kompany has a future at the club after an injury-hit two seasons.

"He has a contract, so of course," says Guardiola. "What is the problem now about Vincent and the future?

"He is a Man City player and the reason why he didn't play the last two seasons regularly was because he was injured many, many times.

"We are trying to give him faith to play regularly. When he's fit he is going to have the same options to play as his team-mates. Then it depends on my decision - his quality, performance, everything."
