Vincent Kompany is in Manchester City’s squad for Saturday’s trip to Leicester City after missing the last three games due to a hamstring injury.

The captain narrowly missed out on playing in Wednesday evening’s 2-0 win at Roma, after failing a late fitness test.

Of the Leicester game, Manuel Pellegrini said: “Kompany is in the squad list so I don’t think he will have any problem to play tomorrow.”

David Silva should also be available. “We will see tomorrow, he didn’t feel any pain in the knee from the 30 minutes [in Rome] so I think he will be fit,” said the manager.

After stating last week Joe Hart would sign a new deal in the next “day” the goalkeeper is yet to. “I think it is close. Joe wants to stay here and we want him to be our goalkeeper,” said Pellegrini.
