Kompany returns to Bayern training ground after health scare

Bayern manager Kompany returned to the club's training ground over two weeks after suffering a health episode; no return date confirmed but optimism filters from the club.

Vincent Kompany has returned to Bayern Munich's Säbener Straße training ground for the first time since suffering a health episode on 23 October while observing the reserve team's session. The Belgian manager was hospitalised for six days and diagnosed with meningeal irritation during his stay.

Assistant coach Aaron Danks has managed the team in Kompany's absence, overseeing victories against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and Mainz in the Bundesliga. While no official return date to the bench has been announced, the club is optimistic. Honorary president Uli Hoeness previously indicated a possible window for Kompany's return within the next two to three weeks.

Bayern resume their campaign on 20 November at 20:30 against Cologne at the Allianz Arena, after the international break.
