Kompany

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has returned to the German club’s training ground for the first time since collapsing during a training session last month, marking another step in his recovery.

The Bundesliga champions confirmed on Tuesday that the Belgian coach had been back at the club’s Säbener Straße training facility since the beginning of the week, where he is continuing rehabilitation for a shoulder injury sustained during the incident.

Kompany’s return comes after weeks of medical attention and recovery following the health scare that forced him to step away from his managerial responsibilities.

The 40-year-old reportedly became ill while observing a training session involving Bayern’s second team on October 23. He was subsequently taken for medical treatment and diagnosed with meningeal irritation, an inflammation affecting the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

The incident also left him with a shoulder injury, which has required further rehabilitation.

In a statement announcing his return to the training facility, Bayern said the manager was making progress in his recovery and would continue his rehabilitation at the club’s headquarters.

The club, however, has not confirmed when he will fully resume his duties on the touchline.

Kompany’s absence has seen assistant coach Aaron Danks take charge of the first team during the manager’s recovery period.

Danks oversaw several matches, including victories against Freiburg, Magdeburg, Atletico Madrid and Mainz, as well as a 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund.

The results have helped Bayern maintain their competitive position in domestic and European football despite the absence of their head coach.

Bayern’s return to Bundesliga action is scheduled for November 20, when they host FC Cologne following the international break.

The club has not officially confirmed whether Kompany will be available to lead the team for that encounter.

His return to the training ground is nevertheless an encouraging development for Bayern, whose management and supporters have been monitoring his recovery since the October incident.

The former Manchester City defender joined Bayern as head coach in 2024 and has since established himself as an important figure in the club’s technical leadership.

For now, the German champions are expected to continue monitoring his recovery while Danks and the remaining technical staff maintain preparations for their upcoming fixtures.
