- FC Bayern confirmed the collapse in a club statement saying Kompany will remain under medical care and that his trainer team will run training and match duties until further notice.

- Sport director Max Eberl said Kompany will get all the time he needs, that diagnostics are ongoing and that a return is more likely to take weeks than days while the club prioritizes his recovery.
