"Manchester City" coach Pep Guardiola hopes that team captain Vincent Kompany will be able to help the "cityzens" on the field in the near future. The Belgian player only played 14 matches in the Premier League last season and hasn't been on the green field under the guidance of the new coach yet. However, now it is hoped that the defender has left his injuries behind and will appear in tomorrow's EFL Cup match against "Swansea City". "I have been pleased since day one (that Kompany is recovering from injuries - ed. note)," Guardiola said at a press conference. "The last two years have not been easy for him and the club because of his injuries. Now we think we know the reason why it happened." "He feels much better. He has trained a lot. When he is ready, he will be part of the team and will compete with other center-backs for a place on the field. We will need him in many matches, so I am very happy." Kompany suffered the injury immediately in the UEFA Champions League semi-final match against Real Madrid. As a result, the footballer had to miss the European Championship.
