​Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has revealed club captain Vincent Kompany will miss Sunday's Manchester derby and at least another month of action after suffering a recurrence of a calf injury in Tuesday's match with Dynamo Kiev.





Speaking after the match to ​Sky Sports, the Chilean confirmed that Kompany would miss a significant chunk of the remaining weeks of the season after pulling up early on at the Etihad Stadium. City drew 0-0 on the night but progressed through to the Champions League quarter finals for the first time in their history with a 3-1 aggregate win.

It wasn't all good news though as Pellegrini divulged information on his skipper's latest setback: "Vincent, unfortunately, has a muscle injury in his calf like he had before. We'll know more tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow how important it is, but always a muscle injury is minimum of one month."





Central defensive partner Nicolas Otamendi was also replaced later in the first half with an injury, but Pellegrini doesn't rate it too seriously: "Otamendi has an important kick but we think just a couple of days for him to recover. We will see the way he develops."





Pellegrini did however hail his side's achievement as they progressed, and they now await the draw for the last eight of the competition on Friday; alongside the likes of Paris Saint Germain, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and likely, Barcelona.

"We are very happy for the achievement because it's important for this club to improve every season," ​he added. "The last two seasons we were unlucky to play against Barcelona in the round of 16. We now arrive in the best eight teams in the competition for the first time.





"We will see how far we can go. We had a very difficult group with teams from the best leagues in Europe and we won it.





"We are now more experienced for winning the group and this means we are better prepared to go further."
