Hide AdSander Berge, meanwhile, was expected to return after serving his one-match ban but missed out through illness.
“Sander was ill and everybody knows Jordan was out and Hannes. We took a few hits this week,” Kompany said.
“But still, the boys put up a fight yet we’re not talking about that, we’re talking about the incident [Luton’s controversial late goal] instead.”
Charlie Taylor wasn’t fit to face Luton after picking up a shoulder injury against Spurs.

On a more positive note, Hjalmar Ekdal and Lyle Foster were ruled fit and both started having been fitness doubts prior to the game.
The likes of CJ Egan-Riley, Jack Cork and Manuel Benson – who has been linked with a January move away from Turf Moor – featured among the substitutes, but Luca Koleosho remains a long-term absentee.
The winger is expected to miss the majority of the campaign with a serious knee injury he suffered in the 1-0 defeat to Wolves.
