Bayern Munich Says Coach Vincent Kompany Is 'Stable' After Collapsing at Friday Training Session

Bayern said the 40-year-old coach is in stable condition after collapsing at training, and assistant Aaron Danks will lead the team against Freiburg.

  • On Friday, Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany collapsed during reserve-team training and remains in hospital in stable condition, though the club confirmed he will be sidelined for weeks.
  • Prior to the collapse, the 40-year-old Kompany had been battling a virus in recent days, according to sporting director Max Eberl, and missed some training sessions.
  • Eberl said Kompany needs "protecting from himself," noting the club postponed their reserve side's match but will proceed with Sunday's Bundesliga trip to Freiburg.
  • Assistant coach Aaron Danks will take charge for upcoming matches, saying he spoke with Kompany solely to check on his well-being rather than discussing football operations.
  • Bayern leads the Bundesliga with 14 points from six matches, and the club will work together to keep operations moving forward while awaiting a medical diagnosis on Kompany's condition.
