Overview
- Vincent Kompany collapsed during training on Friday and was taken to a Munich clinic, where club doctors have kept him under observation and he will be out for several weeks.
- Assistant coach Aaron Danks visited Kompany in hospital and said the 40‑year‑old is in good spirits and appears to be getting better day by day.
- Danks and sporting director Max Eberl both stressed there are no major new diagnostic findings and that Kompany is being given time to rest without a firm return date.
- With Kompany absent, Danks has assumed day‑to‑day coaching duties and public‑facing responsibilities while the squad focuses on Wednesday's DFB‑Pokal match against 1. FC Magdeburg.
- Key player availability is being managed separately: Joshua Kimmich will miss the cup tie but is likely to be available for the upcoming Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund.
