Kompany off injured in Champions League semi

Vincent Kompany's injury woes reached a new low as the Manchester City captain was forced off inside the opening 10 minutes of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg at Real Madrid.

The City captain fell to the floor under no contact after playing a pass just inside the Madrid half, apparently clutching at his thigh.

He was replaced by Eliaquim Mangala with the score on the night and on aggregate still deadlocked at 0-0, although Gareth Bale edged the hosts ahead after 20 minutes.
