Bayern Coach Vincent Kompany Hospitalized After Sudden Collapse

Investigations are focusing on a possible head-related cause for his collapse.

Overview

  • Kompany collapsed while observing a second-team session last Friday and was treated at the club training ground before being flown to a Munich hospital.
  • Emergency responders at the scene included the club doctor, a rescue helicopter, an ambulance and a paramedic, and initial checks ruled out stroke and heart attack.
  • Doctors are conducting neurological tests and have concentrated their inquiries on a likely head-related problem, with no definitive public diagnosis released.
  • FC Bayern has placed Kompany on medical leave, named Aaron Danks acting coach and expects him to miss the upcoming matches through the international break.
  • Reports say witnesses saw convulsions after the fall and some single-source accounts mention pre-collapse headaches and a dislocated shoulder, while club figures describe Kompany as stable and improving.
