Kompany back at Bayern training ground after health scare

Bayern Munich confirmed on Tuesday that head coach Vincent Kompany has returned to the club's Säbener Straße training facility, according to Get German Football News. The 40-year-old Belgian had been absent from coaching duties since collapsing while observing a reserve-team training session on October 23; he was hospitalised and examinations reportedly revealed an irritation of the meninges. Bayern said he is recovering and has been back at the facilities since the start of the week, while also undergoing rehabilitation for a shoulder injury.

The Münchener Tageszeitung reported that Kompany was back working at his office computer by around 10 a.m. on Tuesday, per GGFN.

Bayern have not confirmed when Kompany will return to the touchline. Honorary president Uli Hoeneß suggested on Bayerischer Rundfunk's Sonntags-Stammtisch that the coach could return after the November international break, potentially putting him in contention for the Bundesliga match against 1. FC Cologne on November 20.

In Kompany's absence, assistant coach Aaron Danks has overseen first-team affairs, with Bayern winning all five competitive fixtures during that period.
