Vincent Kompany remains stable in hospital as doctors run tests following his collapse on Friday, says Bayern Munich director Max Eberl. The manager collapsed while watching the club's second team train after being unwell with a virus and missing the pre-match news conference for Bayern's Champions League game against Arsenal. Eberl questioned whether Kompany should have been allowed to manage Wednesday's match, stating that protecting the coach is a priority and that ignoring the body's signals can lead to severe consequences. Kompany's assistant, Aaron Danks, confirmed visiting him in hospital with no football discussions, only health checks. All football operations are being handled by the coaching team to ensure the club continues moving forward.
Kompany spent 11 years at Manchester City as a player, winning four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and four League Cups before transitioning to management. After guiding Burnley to the 2022-23 Championship title, he was unable to keep them in the Premier League. He left to take over at Bayern in May 2024 and has led them to successive Bundesliga titles. His recovery is expected to take weeks, with the club emphasizing the importance of allowing him time to heal.
