Vincent Kompany is in hospital after collapsing during a Bayern Munich training session on Friday.<\/p>\n
The Bayern boss has been struggling with a virus that left him in pain and having difficulty walking on the touchline in last weekend’s victory over RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n
Kompany insisted he was on the mend after the draw with Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
But, ahead of Sunday\u2019s clash with Freiburg, things took a worrying turn during a reserve-team training session, which Kompany was watching when he collapsed.<\/p>\n
Bayern released a statement on their website, saying “Vincent Kompany is currently undergoing a thorough examination in the hospital and will remain under medical care. For the time being, his coaching staff will manage all training \u200cand match-related operations.”<\/p>\n
Max Eberl, Bayern\u2019s board \u2060member for sport, said: “Vincent Kompany\u2019s health is our top priority. At Bayern, we will do everything we can to ensure he makes a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n
“Vinnie is receiving all the \u200cnecessary medical care and support, and he will be given as much time as he needs. Everyone at FC Bayern wishes Vinnie a quick recovery.”<\/p>\n
Kompany’s former club Manchester City also sent their best wishes, with a post on their X feed reading: “Everyone at Manchester City is wishing a speedy recovery to our former captain and Club legend, Vincent Kompany.<\/p>\n
“Get well soon, Vinny.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vincent Kompany is in hospital after collapsing during a Bayern Munich training session on Friday.
