Kompany was taken to hospital after collapsing as he watched the club’s second team train.<\/p>\n
He had been unwell with a virus and missed the pre-match news conference on Tuesday for Bayern’s Champions League game against Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Kompany was on the touchline for Wednesday’s match and Eberl questioned whether he “should have put the brakes on him earlier”.<\/p>\n
“The fact is, we protect our coach wherever we can,” he said. <\/p>\n
“If a coach says he feels ready to do something, then we’re not going to say ‘we won’t allow that’ if we don’t know what’s going on. <\/p>\n
“It’s also everyone’s own responsibility to say, ‘I can’t carry on now’. <\/p>\n
“Vinnie’s a hard worker. If you don’t listen to the subtle signals your body sends, eventually it will scream out in pain.<\/p>\n
“Vinnie will be given that time 1792844769, and we’ll continue to try, even more than before, to protect him from himself.”<\/p>\n
Kompany spent 11 years at Manchester City as a player, winning four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups, before going into management with Burnley. <\/p>\n
After guiding them to the 2022-23 Championship title, Kompany was unable to keep the Clarets in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
He left to take over at Bayern in May 2024 and has led them to successive Bundesliga titles. <\/p>\n
Kompany’s assistant Aaron Danks has spoken with the Bayern boss in hospital.<\/p>\n
“I explained to him that we would be having no football conversations,” said Danks. “It was just checking in on his health and making sure he’s OK.<\/p>\n
“All the football operations are in our hands and we’ll work together as a team to keep the club moving forward.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kompany was taken to hospital after collapsing as he watched the club’s second team train.
