Kompany passed fit as Man City look to regain lead

Manchester City will have captain Vincent Kompany available as it looks to regain the lead in the Premier League when it visits Wigan on Wednesday.

The Belgium defender played the full 90 minutes in the scoreless draw against Chelsea on Sunday despite picking up a knee injury in the 1-1 Champions League draw with Real Madrid last week, and had been expected to be rested for the trip to Wigan.

City first-team coach David Platt said Tuesday that Kompany had not suffered any further reaction and was fit to play.

City is one point behind Manchester United, which plays West Ham.
