On Sunday night, Belgian police carried out a series of raids that the government said were linked to a possible imminent attack like those in Paris on November 13, which killed 130 people.

At least one Belgian fugitive, Salah Abdeslam, is on the run while another Belgian man, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who was suspected of orchestrating the attacks by Islamic extremists, was killed in a police raid north of Paris.

Kompany, currently sidelined by a calf injury, revealed in an interview with CNN how he had been affected by the events.

"It's very upsetting. You know, I didn't sleep for three days after probably the attacks, but as well as information came through that it was related to my city," he told the broadcaster.
