Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is on track for a full recovery after collapsing at a reserve team training session two weeks ago. Assistant Aaron Danks confirmed Kompany is "well on the way to a full recovery" following treatment for meningeal irritation. Danks remains in charge for Bayern's Bundesliga game against Mainz on Saturday, with the team not playing again until Nov. 20 due to the international break.
During Kompany's absence, Harry Kane made history as the first Bayern player in 45 years to win the Ballon d'Or and signed a contract extension. Kane also fell short of Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League goal streak record. Bayern drew with Borussia Dortmund and beat Atletico Madrid, while suffering a string of injuries.
Kompany was released from hospital and is recovering at home, with the club maintaining a policy of not involving him in football discussions during his recovery. Christoph Freund praised Kane's extension, stating the club believes he can maintain his level with his attitude and personality.
