Manuel Pellegrini today confirmed that Vincent Kompany’s season may be over after an injury suffered in last weekend’s derby defeat to Manchester United.
The City captain did himself a mischief whilst stretching to make an x-rated challenge on United’s Daley Blind. The 29-year-old has had a poor season by his exalted standards and reaction to the injury was mixed to say the least…
Some thought it was just deserts for Kompany’s rash challenge on Blind…

Many felt it was bad news for Manchester City / good news for their rivals…

Kompany maybe out for the season? Cant see City fans being too optimistic for the rest of the season with Demichelis and Mangala at the back

But a fair few disagreed and suggested it could be a blessing is disguise…
Kompany potentially out for the rest of the season? Tbh, thats a blessing. Hes been average at best this season.

Great news for @MCFC!
Kompany is out for the remainder of the season.— Kyle Waring ⭐⭐ (@CFCWarinG94) April 17, 2015
Kompany out for the rest of the season. Given his erratic form, might not be as bad as you'd think. Time for £40m Mangala to step up #MCFC

Kompany could be out for the rest of the season – probably good for him if he gets the rest anyway.

There was even a little sympathy for the crocked stopper…
Thing is I kinda feel bad for Kompany.. Shouldnt have made that tackle though

Kompany out until probably the end of the season. feel for him, after all the criticising as of late. hope he's at his very best next season
