Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini expects to learn the extent of Vincent Kompany's latest injury setback on Monday.

The Belgian has missed 25 matches due to repeated issues with his calf this season, but the latest problem is believed to be an issue with his groin suffered after just nine minutes of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg with Real Madrid.

"We don't have the medical examination on Vincent - he's with the doctor. On Monday we will know," Pellegrini told reporters Friday.

"For Vincent it's an issue for the future - we must talk with the doctor, with the player, with the people who will be in charge of City next year. It's a medical issue.

"Every time he was in the XI he was fit to play, 100 percent. You can be sure of that."

Pellegrini confirmed Kompany will be joined by David Silva and Aleksandar Kolarov on the sidelines in Sunday's visit from Arsenal. It's a tie which could have serious ramifications on which English teams play Champions League football next term as Manchester United and West Ham United sit just short of the top four with a game in hand.
