Joe Hart believes that Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will benefit from being axed by manager Manuel Pellegrini . Kompany was dropped to the bench for Wednesday ’ s home win over Leicester City after some below-par performances . Hart knows how the Belgium defender is feeling after he was left out for seven league games last season following a loss of form . But the England keeper is confident Kompany will come back stronger for the experience . Vincent Kompany was dropped for Manchester City 's 2-0 win against Leicester City on Wednesday . Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart said Kompany would fight his way back into the team . Hart said : ‘ Vinny appreciates , same as we all do , that sometimes the manager will change the squad . There is no-one destined to play every single game — I ’ ve learned that lesson . Vinny is an unbelievable player , one of the best I have ever played with , and that was his night off . I ’ m sure he will be back in the team again with that captain ’ s armband , being one of the best defenders in world football. ’ The 2-0 victory over Leicester preserved City ’ s title hopes as they try to catch Chelsea , but it was only the ninth time this season that Pellegrini ’ s side have kept a clean sheet . ‘ It has not been good enough , ’ said Hart . ‘ We ’ d all accept that , myself included . It ’ s not just the back four and the goalkeeper , we defend as a team . I don ’ t set out to be brutally honest but I ’ d struggle to say things any other way. ’ City have won both their Premier League titles on the last day , but Hart added : ‘ I ’ m not that bothered about topping previous seasons in terms of drama . Winning the league is the most important thing , whether we do it dramatically or not. ’ Central defender Kompany has been criticised for some of his performances this season . Hart admitted that Manchester City have not been playing well enough recently .
