Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will miss his side ’s Premier League showdown with Liverpool on Saturday due to a calf injury, manager Pep Guardiola revealed on Friday .
The centre- back , who has a long history of calf problems , sustained the injury after completing the 90 minutes of Belgium ’s 4 - 0 victory over Gibraltar in World Cup qualifying last week .
“He played with Belgium against Gibraltar . They won 9 - 0 . He had a little problem in his calf . I think he will not be able (to play ) tomorrow, ” Guardiola told reporters at City ’s training centre in Manchester .
Guardiola predicted that Kompany would only be sidelined for a “short ” period of time .
City are level on points with second- placed Liverpool in the Premier League table after winning two and drawing one of their three games to date .
