MANCHESTER CITY AND Belgium defender Vincent Kompany has been ruled out of Euro 2016 with a groin injury.
The Belgium captain limped out of City’s Champions League semi-final second leg at Real Madrid with the injury last week and it was initially feared that he would be out of action for four to six weeks.

But in a statement on his Facebook page Kompany has revealed that the injury has ruled him out of the tournament entirely, including Belgium’s Group E clash with Ireland in Bordeaux on 18 June.
“I’ll miss the Euros,” Kompany posted.
“I trust my friends and team-mates to do well and do us proud at the next European Championships in France. I am now officially their most fervent supporter and I will be there to support them.”
