Vincent Kompany to miss Wales clash

Vincent Kompany to miss Wales clash

Belgium manager Marc Wilmots has ruled captain Vincent Kompany out of Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier with Wales in Brussels.

Kompany missed Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Queens Park Rangers on Saturday as fears grew over his fitness for his country's upcoming internationals.

The 28-year-old defender subsequently sat out tonight's 3-1 friendly win over Iceland, and Wilmots confirmed that he will also be without his skipper for the visit of Chris Coleman's side.

"I received a call from Vincent earlier," he told RTBF. "He is out for Manchester City for 10 to 12 days, so is unavailable for Sunday. It's a shame but there is no problem, there are only solutions."

Wilmot's side, who have played one game fewer than Group B leaders Wales, sit three points adrift of their Welsh counterparts in third after two matches.
