Bayern Munich coach collapses after training session, taken to hospital
Bayern sporting director Max Eberl said the club would give Kompany all the time he needed to recover, stressing that his health remained the priority.
Bukayo Saka left the pitch in the first ten minutes of Arsenal's draw against Bayern Munich, sparking concerns for the Arsenal midfielder. Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's manager, confirmed that the injury was to Saka's quad, describing the situation as "bleak". Saka had been playing well before the incident, causing trouble for Alphonso Davies.
Arteta emphasized that a player coming off with such a sharp pain is always a cause for concern. The result, while not entirely negative, underscores the gravity of losing one of their top attackers. Saka has been a consistent presence in Arsenal's squad, starting all seven Premier League games this season and playing a key role in two of their three Champions League matches.
Arteta highlighted the intensity and workload at the highest level of football, suggesting that such demands can take a toll on even the most reliable players. With Saka's absence, Arsenal will need to rely on alternative attackers, but one substitute goal does not offset the loss of a key player. The team now awaits to see the full impact of Saka's injury on their season.
