Manuel Pellegrini says 'it wasn't ideal' to lose captain Vincent Kompany to injury in City's Champions League tie against Real Madrid

Manchester City face an anxious wait on Thursday, with Vincent Kompany set for a scan on his injured groin.

The City captain, blighted by a series of muscle injuries this season, pulled up holding his right leg after less than 10 minutes of Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

He was replaced by Eliaquim Mangala and City boss Manuel Pellegrini said Kompany had suffered a groin injury - and not a new problem with his troublesome calf.

The skipper should be considered a doubt for the final two games of the Premier League season as City fight to hold on to a top-four place and Champions League qualification for next season.

And a serious injury would threaten his participation with Belgium in this summer's European Championships.
