Vincent Kompany 'closing in on return from injury by resuming training'

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany reportedly has an outside chance of featuring against Swansea City this weekend after returning to training following a calf problem.

The 28-year-old defender has been out of action since suffering the problem during City's 2-1 defeat to CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on November 5.

According to The Telegraph, Kompany took part in training today with his teammates, but manager Manuel Pellegrini could keep him out of Saturday's fixture with one eye on next week's European clash against Bayern Munich at the Etihad Stadium.

In the Premier League, the current champions are third in the table, eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
