Pep Guardiola: 'Vincent Kompany could play 90 minutes'

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has suggested that Vincent Kompany could be available to play 90 minutes against Middlesbrough on Saturday afternoon.

Kompany is yet to complete a match since recovering from the injury which kept him out of Euro 2016, but while Guardiola refused to reveal whether the Belgian would start, he has disclosed that he will speak with his medical team before making a final decision.

The 45-year-old told reporters: "Maybe. I still have to think this afternoon and think about my team, speak a little bit with the physios about their conditions.

"The Barcelona game was always tough mentally and physically but of course he has a chance."

Kompany has made four appearances in all competitions this season.
