Vincent Kompany Returns to Bayern Munich Base After Health Scare

Return to Sabener Strasse

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany has made his first appearance back at the club base after collapsing during a training session. The 40 year old manager was taken ill on Oct. 23 while working with the second team.

The health scare forced Kompany to spend time away from the sidelines. He has now returned to the Sabener Strasse training ground to begin the next phase of his recovery process.

Medical Details and Injury Recovery

Doctors diagnosed Kompany with meningeal irritation following the incident. The condition kept him away from the dugout for Bayern's past five matches.

During the collapse, Kompany also suffered a physical injury. He reportedly dislocated his shoulder as he fell to the ground. The manager was seen at the training ground with his arm placed in a sling.

Bayern Munich confirmed that Kompany is on the road to recovery. He will be doing specific rehabilitation work on his shoulder at Sabener Strasse as he works his way back to full fitness.

Results Under Aaron Danks

Assistant coach Aaron Danks stepped up to take control of the first team during Kompany's absence. The squad maintained good form under his guidance in both domestic and European competitions.

Danks led Bayern to a 2-0 victory against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. He also managed the team during a 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in a top of the table Bundesliga fixture.

Looking Ahead to the Next Match

Sporting director Max Eberl has given regular progress reports on Kompany's health. Still, the club has not set a clear date for when the manager will be back on the touchline for match days.

Bayern Munich remain at the top of the Bundesliga table on goal difference ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Their next game following the international break takes place on Friday Nov. 20, when they host Cologne at the Allianz Arena.
