Vincent Kompany Collapses During Bayern Training Session

Vincent Kompany is undergoing hospital tests and remains under medical supervision after collapsing during an FC Bayern reserve-team training session on Friday.

The Bayern head coach was watching the club’s second string train when he suddenly went down, prompting immediate medical attention on site before he was taken to hospital for a full examination. The incident cast an instant hush over what had been a routine session at the club.

Bayern confirmed that Kompany will stay in medical care while doctors run thorough checks. Until he is cleared to return, his coaching staff will lead all training and match preparations.

“Vincent Kompany’s health is our top priority. We at FC Bayern will do everything we can to ensure he makes a speedy recovery. Vinnie is receiving all the necessary medical care and support, and all the time he needs. His coaching team, in whom we have complete confidence, will take over his duties. All of us at FC Bayern wish Vinnie a speedy recovery.”

For now, Bayern’s focus sits firmly with their head coach’s wellbeing, while his staff shoulder the touchline responsibility in his absence.
