Vincent Kompany is a Manchester City legend but may be in his final campaign with the club

Kompanyhas made 347 appearances for City having arrived in August 2008 from Hamburg, but has been plagued with numerous injuries in the past five years and has not played more than 20 Premier League matches since 2015.This term, the 32-year-old has played just14 times and is currently sidelined with a muscular problem.“He’s incredible but the reality is in the last five years he’s played few, really few,” said Guardiola.“So that is the situation we have to put on the table and the club will discuss it with his agent and make the best decision for both.  “We don’t have any doubts about his quality – we miss him when he is not able to play.“He’s important, he is our captain and on the field he gives us extra that few central defenders around the world can give us.”While he has been captain for all three of City‘s title triumphs, he has fallen behind Aymeric Laporte and John Stones in the defensive pecking order and Guardiola has admitted there comes a stage when everyone’s time at the club has to end.2

Pep Guardiola hailed Vincent’s Kompany impact on the club

“I would like to feel that the club knows the sentimental issue is so important. It’s not important for making decisions, but (it is) for the players who have been here a long time and helped us to build what we are right now,” he said.“We cannot forget what they have done. I don’t like the clubs to say, “OK, it’s done, go”.“But, at the same time, there is a moment when it’s over for everybody.“That’s why I said it’s not my decision. In those cases, like him, like Sergio (Aguero), like David (Silva), like Mr Toure in the past, it’s a decision for them to make together with the club.”
