Manchester City captain Vincent
Kompany claims there was no physical
reaction after he made his return from
injury against West Bromwich Albion.
The Belgian defender had spent the last
two months on the sidelines battling with
a thigh injury.
However, Kompany made his long-
awaited return in City's narrow escape
against West Brom on Wednesday night.
Despite taking a three-goal lead at The
Hawthorns, Manuel Pellegrini's men were
made to sweat as they conceded two late
goals, before holding out for only their
second away win of the season.
Asked if there were any fears of the injury
returning Kompany, who last featured in
the 3-1 win over Everton in October, told
Sky Sports news: "No, nothing."
"The teams have strengthened
up in the Premier League this
season which makes it a little bit
harder."
With stronger competition in the Premier
League, Kompany was delighted to see
City prevail and believes victory gives
them the necessary momentum for a
busy Christmas period.
"The only reaction is a big smile
obviously," he added.
"It's a massive game for us, any away win
in this league is important.
"The teams have strengthened up in the
Premier League this season which makes
it a little bit harder.
"Having said that, we have such a massive
boost out of this game to go into the next
one."
Pellegrini's men currently sit third in the
table, six points adrift of Arsenal, whom
they host in two weeks times after a visit
to St Mary's to face Southampton on
Saturday
