  "account": "Bayern Munich's head coach Vincent Kompany was admitted to the hospital on Friday after collapsing during a training session with the club's reserve team, according to a statement from the Bavarian giants. The 40-year-old former Manchester City defender, who has been with Bayern Munich since 2024, is currently receiving thorough medical examinations and will continue to be under care. Kompany's absence from training and a press conference on Tuesday was due to a \"pretty nasty virus\" he contracted the previous week. Following the Arsenal game, Kompany expressed his regret for not heeding his body's signals. Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl emphasized that the club's top priority is Kompany's health, vowing to provide all necessary medical support and time required for his recovery. Assistant coach Aaron Danks stepped in to handle training and the press conference ahead of the Arsenal match. The Spanish club Atletico Madrid, Bayern's next Champions League opponent on November 3, wished Kompany a speedy recovery on social media.",
