Vincent Kompany named in Belguim squad for World Cup qualifiers despite lack of match fitness

Roberto Martinez has called Vincent Kompany up to his Belguim squad despite the defender's injury woes and lack of game time at Manchester City.

Kompany, captain for club and country, is in the team for the upcoming friendly against the Netherlands and the following 2018 World Cup qualifier against Estonia.

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez says he will watch Kompany's performance for Manchester City this weekend before making a decision how much time he will give the player on the pitch.
