Story summary

Vincent Kompany, 40, was taken to hospital after collapsing during a training session for Bayern Munich's reserve team on Friday, October 23, 2026. He had been suffering from a viral infection and had missed some training sessions due to illness. Kompany was monitoring the reserve team’s practice when he collapsed; players who witnessed it were deeply affected, leading to the cancellation of their Saturday game against DJK Vilzing.

Kompany is currently in stable condition at the hospital and undergoing thorough medical examinations. The cause of his collapse has not yet been determined definitively, but tests have already yielded some results that require further investigation to ascertain his recovery timeline accurately. Assistant coach Aaron Danks will oversee Sunday's Bundesliga match against Freiburg while Kompany recovers.

Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl stated that the club plans to prioritize Kompany’s health and recovery, likely sidelining him for weeks pending a full diagnosis. The decision was made despite considering postponing Sunday's game but ultimately opting to proceed with it as the best way to support Kompany emotionally.
