Bayern boss Kompany stable but sidelined for weeks, says club director
Sporting director Max Eberl says Bayern Munich will prioritise manager Vincent Kompany's recovery and wait for a diagnosis before discussing any potential return.
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany remains hospitalized in a stable condition after collapsing during reserve-team training on Friday, according to the club's sporting director Max Eberl. The 40-year-old Belgian coach has been battling a virus in recent days and will be sidelined for weeks, Eberl said on Saturday. Bayern has postponed their reserve side's match and is prioritizing Kompany's recovery, waiting for a diagnosis before discussing any potential return.
Eberl emphasized that the recovery period is measured in weeks, not days. The club postponed their match against Freiburg but never considered delaying the Bundesliga trip to the away game. Assistant coach Aaron Danks will take charge of the team for the match against Freiburg, having spoken to Kompany solely to check on his well-being.
Danks explained that the focus is on winning the match to help Kompany recover, as that would be the greatest joy for the manager.
