Mancini hits out at Wilmots

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has expressed annoyance with Belgium manager Marc Wilmots after he selected City captain Vincent Kompany for international duty. Kompany has not played for City since injuring his calf in an FA Cup game at Stoke City on January 26, but he played the entire 90 minutes in Belgium's World Cup qualifier against Macedonia on Tuesday. "He didn't play for us for 60 days and then he went to play for the Belgium team," Mancini said. "I did not agree with this. I think sometimes some managers of national teams should understand the situation. "This player plays for the club and the club, every month, pay his salary. "I don't know if he is OK or not. One week before the international break he was not fit to play for us." City host Newcastle United on Saturday.
