Vincent Kompany pulls out of Belgium team at last minute

Vincent Kompany pulls out of Belgium team

Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany has seemingly suffered a fresh injury scare after withdrawing from Belgium's starting lineup shortly before their meeting with the Netherlands.

The 30-year-old was in line to feature in Wednesday evening's friendly at the Amsterdam ArenA, only to pull out of the squad ahead of kickoff.

Kompany, who was replaced by Watford's Christian Kabasele, is believed to have suffered an ankle injury during the warm-up - the latest in a string of problems that have plagued the centre-back in recent years.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen was replaced in the first half of the clash, meanwhile, following a collision with Liverpool's back-up keeper Simon Mignolet.
