Overview
- On Friday, Kompany collapsed while watching the FC Bayern Amateure/U23 session at the Säbener Straße training ground and was taken to a Munich hospital for examination.
- The club issued a statement saying Kompany will remain in medical care and that his trainer team will manage training and matches until further notice.
- Multiple outlets reported an urgent emergency response that included a rescue helicopter landing, a notarzt (emergency doctor) and ambulance transport, and the U23 session was halted immediately.
- Kompany had been weakened in the previous week by a pronounced viral infection that caused hip and old‑scar tissue problems and forced him to miss team sessions earlier in the week.
- Assistant Aaron Danks will lead the team for the near term and Kompany is expected to be absent from the upcoming Bundesliga trip to Freiburg as doctors continue tests and monitoring with no specific diagnosis released.
