Overview
- The 40-year-old collapsed while watching Bayern’s reserve-team session and was taken to a Munich hospital for thorough examinations, sources say the incident occurred on Friday.
- Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed Kompany is in a stable condition and said the club expects his recovery to take weeks rather than days.
- First-team coaching duties have been handed to Kompany’s staff, with assistant Aaron Danks set to lead the side for the upcoming Bundesliga trip to Freiburg.
- Kompany had a viral infection earlier in the week that forced him to miss training and a pre-match press conference before returning to the bench for the Champions League draw with Arsenal.
- Bayern postponed the reserve match after the collapse but kept the senior fixture on schedule and will monitor medical results ahead of a busy run that includes a Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid.
