Overview
- Vincent Kompany collapsed while observing a Bayern reserve training session and was taken to a Munich hospital after emergency medics responded on site.
- An ambulance transported him from the training ground and club sources say he had been battling a viral infection in the days before the collapse.
- Assistant coach Aaron Danks said Kompany is improving and in good spirits but that there is no confirmed diagnosis or timetable for his return.
- Outside commentators have warned the recovery could take longer than the club’s ‘weeks’-long estimate, creating a range of possible timelines for his absence.
- Bayern have shifted day-to-day coaching duties to Danks and the backroom staff as the team prepares for coming matches, and the club has asked for privacy while tests continue.
