Belgian defender Kompany has been sidelined with a calf injury but was back training last week and could feature in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.
Manchester City hold a slim 2-1 advantage over the Robins but Pep Guardiola can’t afford to rest too many of his first-team stars with a trip to Wembley on the line.
Gabriel Jesus (knee), Fabian Delph (knock) and Benjamin Mendy (ACL) are all out, while Phil Foden will also miss the clash with an ankle injury.
Oleksandr Zinchenko could continue at left-back after making his Premier League debut against Newcastle, while Guardiola has hinted that Eliaquim Managala, Yaya Toure and Bernardo Silva will all feature.
