Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirms that Vincent Kompany will miss the first leg of their Champions League tie against Monaco with a leg injury.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Vincent Kompany will not feature in his side's Champions League last-16 first leg against AS Monaco on Tuesday.

The City skipper suffered his latest injury setback last week when he picked up a leg problem, forcing him to miss Saturday's goalless draw with Huddersfield Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Kompany will now miss a second game with the injury, but Guardiola reiterated that it is not a serious problem and expects to have the Belgian available for the return match against Huddersfield next Tuesday.

"Vincent Kompany is not ready for tomorrow. I think it's won't be longer. The Huddersfield game he will be ready," he told reporters.

Guardiola also confirmed that Gael Clichy is a doubt for the match, adding: "Clichy had a problem in the back, it is much better. I don't know if he will be ready for tomorrow."

Kompany's injury problems this season have limited him to just 127 minutes of action across all competitions since October.
