Kompany hospitalised after collapsing at Bayern training ground

Vincent Kompany was reportedly taken to hospital on Friday after collapsing at Bayern Munich’s training ground on Säbener Straße. German media said the 40-year-old Belgian manager had been suffering from a viral infection that caused leg problems and difficulty climbing stairs; he was reported to be stable, though the circumstances of the collapse remained unclear. After missing training and a press conference, he had managed Bayern’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal despite being ill. His availability for Sunday’s Bundesliga match against Freiburg was uncertain, and assistant coach Aaron Danks could take charge.
