Bayern Munich provide Vincent Kompany health update after training ground collapse

Kompany is recovering well after collapsing at training last Friday but remains sidelined with no return date set; expected to miss several weeks.

Vincent Kompany collapsed during a reserve-team training session on Friday and was taken to hospital. The 40-year-old had been dealing with a virus in the days before the incident.

Assistant coach Aaron Danks confirmed on Tuesday that Kompany is making progress and in good spirits, with each day bringing improvement. However, no diagnosis details or return date have been announced, and the manager is expected to be sidelined for several weeks. Danks visited him and kept conversations away from football and tactics, describing it as a friendly catch-up.

The health scare comes during a demanding period for Bayern Munich, who face Magdeburg in the German Cup on Wednesday, then Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday, followed by a Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid.
