Manchester: Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has criticised captain Vincent Kompany after he ignored advice from the club over the management of his comeback from injury.
The Belgium defender has not played for the reigning Premier League champions City since damaging a calf muscle in January.
But the influential centre-back figured in a World Cup qualifying match this week, much to the annoyance of his club manager.
If Kompany suffers no adverse reaction to his appearance in the 1-0 win against Macedonia, he will lead out his City team-mates for the first time in two months against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
But Mancini, who has conceded the title to runaway leaders Manchester United, made it clear he was not happy with his skipper.
