Kompany back at Bayern training after collapse

Head coach Vincent Kompany has returned to Bayern Munich’s training ground after collapsing at the end of last month. Bayern said in a statement: “Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week.”

Head coach Vincent Kompany has returned to Bayern Munich's training ground after collapsing at the end of last month.

The 40-year-old former Manchester City captain was taken to hospital after falling ill while watching the club's second team train.

Kompany was diagnosed with meningeal irritation - an inflammation of the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Bayern said in a statement: "Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week."

However, the Bundesliga leaders did not hold a training session, with most players away on international duty.

English coach Aaron Danks has taken charge during Kompany's absence, leading Bayern to four wins and a draw.

They face Cologne next on 20 November, after the two-week international break ends.

Cahuzac, who was appointed by Lens less than two months ago, lost his job after the French Cup winners’ humiliating loss to Como last Wednesday, as well as a subsequent 2-1 reversal at their Stade Bollaert-Delelis home against Marseille on Sunday in Ligue 1.
