Bayern Munich: collapse, convulsions... more details on Kompany's health after hospitalization

Bayern Munich manager Kompany collapsed at training Friday with convulsions; tests ruled out stroke and heart attack, with a brain-related cause suspected. He will miss several weeks.

Vincent Kompany collapsed at Bayern Munich's training ground on Friday after overseeing the first team session and observing the reserve team. The 40-year-old former Belgian defender was rushed to a Munich clinic, where he experienced convulsions. Medical staff, a rescue helicopter, and emergency doctors responded quickly to the incident.

According to Bild, recent hospital examinations have ruled out a stroke or heart attack, though a neurological cause is suspected. The newspaper reports the incident did not appear to be life-threatening. Kompany was well enough to watch Bayern's 3-1 Bundesliga victory over Freiburg on Sunday from the hospital.

Bavaria's leadership visited him during his recovery, including president Herbert Hainer, honorary president Uli Hoeness, and sporting director Max Eberl. Assistant coach Aaron Danks will take charge of the first team during Kompany's convalescence, starting with a German Cup match against Magdeburg on Wednesday.
