Overview
- The 40-year-old Bayern head coach collapsed while observing the club's reserve-team session and was taken to a Munich hospital for comprehensive examinations after feeling unwell on Friday.
- The club confirmed he remains under medical care and is undergoing thorough tests, and Bayern has asked visitors to avoid football-related conversations while diagnostics continue.
- Sporting director Max Eberl said Kompany is stable but will likely be sidelined for weeks, and assistant coach Aaron Danks and the coaching staff have taken over training and match duties.
- Kompany had been battling a viral infection earlier in the week that forced him to miss training sessions and a pre-match press conference before returning to the bench for the Champions League game with Arsenal.
- Kompany's absence removes the club's high-profile leader at a busy point in the season with Bayern top of the Bundesliga and upcoming Champions League fixtures, but the club says it will prioritise his recovery before setting a return date.
