  "account": "Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany remains hospitalized in stable condition after collapsing during reserve-team training on Friday, according to club 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 told reporters on Saturday. Bayern has postponed their reserve side's match and will wait for a diagnosis before discussing any potential return, Eberl emphasized, stating, \"We need to firstly figure out what it is and then we'll discuss calmly what the recovery time is to be.\" The club postponed their reserve side's match but never considered delaying their Bundesliga trip to Freiburg on Sunday. Assistant coach Aaron Danks will take charge of the team against Freiburg, expressing his hope that Bayern performs well to aid Kompany's recovery.",
