Vincent Kompany has been included in Manchester City's squad for tomorrow's clash away to Czech champions Viktoria Plzen.
The City skipper has not played since injuring his hamstring during the opening day win over Newcastle.
In the meantime, Joleon Lescott and Matija Nastasic have deputised at the back, with new signing Martin Demichelis also out injured.
