Vincent Kompany leaves match vs. Leicester City with hamstring injury
Reuters
Hindsight is 20/20, but it looks as though Vincent Kompany did not give himself enough time to fully recover from his hamstring injury before returning to the pitch.
The Manchester City captain, playing for the first time in today's match against Leicester after missing the team's last three games, only managed to hold out for 75 minutes before apparently re-aggravating the problem.
75. Into the final quarter of an hour. Looks bad for @VincentKompany who has pulled up clutching his hamstring.

He was replaced by Martin Demichelis, though manager Manuel Pellegrini's concern will certainly be the long-term health of his captain - who has struggled to remain fit in recent years.
