Vincent Kompany taken off early for Man City

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has been forced to withdraw in the opening minutes of his side's Europa League tie against Sporting Lisbon through injury.

The Belgian looked to have tweaked a muscle in his leg while running and signalled instantly to be substituted.

Joleon Lescott was brought on to replace the 25-year-old.

Kompany was ruled out for a week in early February with a knee injury.
