"Pablo, Vincent, Silva and Kolarov are all out," manager Manuel Pellegrini told reporters on Friday.

Captain Kompany has been plagued by injuries this season and Pellegrini said his fitness concerns may continue to be an issue for Pep Guardiola who takes charge of City at the end of the campaign.

"We must talk with the doctor, with the player, with the people who will be in charge of City next year," the Chilean added.

"Every time he was in the starting 11 he was fit to play, 100 percent. You can be sure of that."

Pellegrini said his final game at the Etihad Stadium against third-placed Arsenal would be a memorable occasion.

"It's a special game because we finish here at home after three intensive years. I will have emotions on Sunday but I prefer not to show them in an external way," the former Real Madrid manager explained.
