Overview
- Kompany collapsed at the edge of a U23 training session in late October and was taken to a Munich clinic where doctors diagnosed a meningeal irritation linked to a prolonged viral infection.
- After several days in hospital he spent roughly two weeks resting at home under medical orders for absolute rest and a course of treatment.
- The 40-year-old coach returned to Bayern’s Säbener Straße training ground this week, attended medical checks and was seen working in his office at the club.
- Co-trainer Aaron Danks covered first-team duties during Kompany’s absence and said recent phone conversations showed Kompany is positive and appears on the way to full recovery.
- Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeneß has forecasted a two- to three-week recovery window, and the club views the first match after the international break on November 20 against 1. FC Köln as the earliest likely occasion for Kompany to resume sideline duties.
