Kompany Returns to Bayern Training Ground as He Continues Recovery

Bayern say he is on the road to recovery with any return to the touchline dependent on medical clearance.

Overview

  • Kompany collapsed while watching a reserve-team session on 23 October and was diagnosed in hospital with meningeal irritation.
  • The coach returned to Säbener Straße earlier this week and has been seen at the club completing rehabilitation for a shoulder injury with his arm in a sling.
  • Bayern have stressed that he will not resume managerial duties until cleared by medical staff and sporting director Max Eberl has said the comeback will take "weeks, not days."
  • Assistant coach Aaron Danks has led the first team during Kompany’s absence and has kept Bayern performing strongly with multiple wins and a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund.
  • Kompany’s presence at the training base eases concerns about his short-term recovery but the club has not confirmed whether he will be available for the return to domestic action on 20 November.
