Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will undergo a late fitness test before Saturday's Premier League trip to Southampton after making an earlier than expected recovery from a calf injury, manager Roberto Mancini said on friday.
.
The Belgium centre back had been ruled out at the start of the month for around three weeks with the injury which he suffered in January's 1-0 win at Stoke City in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
.
City are boosted by the return of the Toure brothers, Kolo and Yaya, from African Nations Cup duty with Ivory Coast for the trip to the south coast to a club hovering close to the relegation zone in the 16th place.
.
'' Yaya is an important player for us...we missed him a lot in these 20 days '', Mancini said.
