Vincent Kompany Hospitalized After Collapse at Bayern Training

Bayern says he is under medical care with his coaching staff taking over team duties.

Overview

  • Kompany collapsed while watching a reserve-team session and was taken to a Munich hospital for comprehensive examinations, the club confirmed.
  • German outlets reported an emergency doctor accompanied him and that a rescue helicopter landed at the training ground though the club has given only limited operational details.
  • Bayern has said Kompany will remain under medical care and that his assistants will run training and match operations until further notice.
  • Sky in Germany has described his in-hospital condition as stable but the club has not released detailed medical findings and has stressed the priority is his recovery.
  • Kompany, 40, had suffered a viral infection earlier in the week that forced him to miss sessions before returning to the bench for the Champions League draw with Arsenal, and Bayern say they will give him the time and care needed to recover.
