​Pellegrini ignoring Belgium pressure over injured Man City skipper Kompany

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is ignoring Belgium boss Marc Wilmots' comments about Vincent Kompany.

Wilmots is concerned another injury could rule the injury prone Belgium and City captain out of the Euro 2016 finals.

Pellegrini insisted he - and not Wilmots - would decide when Kompany returns to action.

"I am not thinking about the PSG second leg - I am just thinking about Vincent improving," he said. "He's not working with the squad at the moment, so we will see next week how many more days he needs.

"I'm always positive. I am not concerned about Belgium's opinion."
