Look who's back!

Vincent Kompany’s given the City squad a welcome boost by returning to first team training following a six-week lay-off.

The skipper’s been working hard to return to fitness since his last outing against Sunderland on Boxing Day, and Blues fans everywhere will be delighted to see him back in action alongside his team-mates at the City Football Academy.

Manuel Pellegrini will reveal when the Belgian is likely to return during Friday’s press conference.
