Bayern Munich's Vincent Kompany to Miss Weeks After Collapse

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany is anticipated to miss several weeks following a collapse while observing a training session for the club’s reserve team. The club's sporting director, Max Eberl, confirmed that the 40-year-old Belgian required medical attention and is undergoing thorough examinations in the hospital.

Eberl stated that the club would not rush Kompany's return and would allow him the necessary time to recover, emphasizing that they would not set a specific timeline for his return. Kompany had been experiencing health issues prior to the incident, missing a training session and a pre-match press conference before Bayern's UEFA Champions League match against Arsenal, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

His absence will impact the team's preparations for their Bundesliga match against Freiburg, with assistant coach Aaron Danks expected to lead the team. Bayern has not disclosed the exact cause of Kompany's collapse and is awaiting the results of medical examinations.
