Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has insisted that he has been "working extremely hard" to work his way back to full fitness.
The defender has missed 26 of City's 39 games this season due to numerous injury woes, but made his comeback in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium.
"I feel great," Kompany told reporters. "I've worked extremely hard. There's always that part that people don't see, the things you do behind the scenes, and for me it's been grafting and just making sure I get the most out of the rest of this season and the rest of my years where I can be at my top.
"The only thing is I want to achieve greatness, like anyone else in this industry, and I want to be allowed to just play all the games, like today. We didn't win but I enjoyed. But nothing will break me."
City are currently fourth in the Premier League table, six points adrift of leaders Leicester City.
