Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany hospitalised after collapse during training

A few weeks ago, sporting director Max Eberl said that Kompany, who reportedly needed help climbing stairs, had been struggling with both a viral infection and a hip injury.

On Friday, Bayern Munich's manager Vincent Kompany was hospitalized after collapsing during a training session with the club's reserve team at their Sabener Strasse facility in Munich. The incident occurred during the session, leading to Kompany's need for medical attention. Emergency services responded to the scene, and a rescue helicopter was reportedly seen landing at the training complex.

Earlier reports suggested that Kompany was battling a viral infection impacting his legs, which had raised concerns about his availability for an upcoming Champions League match against Arsenal. Despite these concerns, Kompany had returned to manage the team for a Wednesday match, and he had also returned to training a few days prior to the incident.

Vincent Kompany, a former captain of the Belgian national team, began his managerial career six years ago and has been with Bayern Munich since May 2024.
