Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has returned to the club’s training ground after being hospitalised following a medical emergency last month
The 40-year-old collapsed while watching Bayern’s reserve team train and was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment
Medical examinations revealed that the former Manchester City captain was suffering from meningeal irritation, an inflammation of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Bayern confirmed his return in a statement, providing an update on his recovery.
“Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week,” the club announced.
Danks oversees Bayern during Kompany’s absence
Although Kompany has returned to the training ground, Bayern have not yet held a full training session, with most of the first-team players currently away on international duty.
English coach Aaron Danks took responsibility for the team during the Belgian’s absence, overseeing five matches in which Bayern recorded four victories and one draw.
His spell in charge helped the Bundesliga champions maintain their positive run of results while their head coach recovered.
The club have not provided further details about when Kompany will resume his full managerial responsibilities.
Bayern prepare for Bundesliga return
Bayern are expected to welcome Kompany back to the dugout ahead of their next Bundesliga fixture against Cologne on November 20.
The match will mark the club’s return to domestic action following the two-week international break.
The German champions will hope to have their manager fully recovered as they continue their campaign, with Kompany having overseen their progress since taking charge in 2024.
