But Kompany’s international team-mate, Palace striker Christian Benteke, urged his Belgian pal to stay strong.
Benteke said: “I spoke with Vincent before he went off and he said he could no longer see the ball properly.
“He was a bit shaken up. I hope he will be OK.
“He is not lucky but he is a real professional. Even for the national side he does everything to avoid injuries.
“But every time there is some little thing that happens.
“He has to stay strong. I think he will come through it.”
