Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has lost his fitness battle to line up in Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain.

Kompany has been sidelined since suffering the latest calf problem of an injury-ravaged season against Dynamo Kiev in the previous round, but returned to training ahead of schedule and played a full part in Monday's open session in preparation for the Etihad Stadium clash.

City claimed a creditable 2-2 draw in Paris but looked defensively vulnerable for much of the contest, although manager Manuel Pellegrini said during a pre-match news conference that he was unwilling to risk his star center back for the second leg.

"Vincent Kompany is not 100 percent fit to it is not possible [for him to play]," Pellegrini said.

The Chilean did offer more encouraging defensive news by declaring Nicolas Otamendi would be available despite twisting his ankle during the closing stages of Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win over West Brom and sitting out training Monday.
