Kompany back at Bayern training after collapse

Kompany has returned to Bayern's training ground after being hospitalized with meningeal irritation last month.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has returned to the club's training ground following his collapse at the end of October. The 40-year-old former Manchester City captain was taken to hospital after falling ill while watching Bayern's second team train and was diagnosed with meningeal irritation, an inflammation of the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Bayern confirmed in a statement that Kompany "is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week." During his absence, assistant coach Aaron Danks has overseen the team, guiding Bayern to four wins and a draw. The Bundesliga leaders will face Cologne on 20 November after the international break concludes.
