Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will miss only ONE Premier League fixture following his red card at Hull.

The Belgian defender was dismissed after just 11 minutes at the KC Stadium, shown a straight red card for a professional foul on Tigers striker Nikica Jelavic.

However, despite it being a straight red card, Kompany will miss only ONE Premier League fixture, rather than three matches, as it wasn't a violent nor dangerous offences.

As such, Kompany will only sit out next Saturday's home match against Fulham.

The City skipper will therefore be available for the Manchester derby the following Tuesday, when City visit reigning league champions United, while he will also be OK for the trip to Arsenal on the following Saturday.
