Kompany back at Bayern training ground after collapse
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany returned to the club's Säbener Straße training ground on Tuesday, 10 Nov, for the first time since collapsing on 23 Oct. The collapse was linked to meningeal irritation, and he was discharged from hospital and recovered at home. He is completing rehab on a dislocated shoulder, and his left arm remains in a sling. Assistant coach Aaron Danks led the team in five games during his absence, with wins over Freiburg, Magdeburg, Atlético Madrid and Mainz and a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund. Bayern lead the Bundesliga with 21 points from nine games. Their next match is at home against 1. FC Köln on 20 Nov.
