According to a report by Fabrizio Romano on Friday, October 23, 2026, Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has reportedly been rushed to hospital after collapsing following a training session earlier in the day.
The Belgian manager was reportedly taken to a hospital in Munich by ambulance after the incident, according to German newspaper BILD.
Reports indicate that a rescue helicopter had landed at Bayern Munich's training ground earlier before Kompany was transported to the hospital for medical assessment.
However, the circumstances surrounding his collapse remain unclear, while Bayern Munich are expected to provide further information about his condition.
The development has raised concerns among supporters of the German Bundesliga champions, who will be hoping that the 40-year-old manager recovers quickly.
Kompany's reported hospitalisation comes after he had experienced health challenges in the days leading up to Bayern Munich's UEFA Champions League encounter against Arsenal on Wednesday.
The former Manchester City captain had reportedly been recovering from a viral infection that affected his ability to stand for extended periods and forced him to miss training sessions.
Despite the illness, Kompany returned to the touchline for Bayern's Champions League clash against Arsenal, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
The manager had also acknowledged the need to listen to his body while recovering from illness, following concerns about his health and workload.
Bayern Munich are expected to clarify the situation as more details emerge about the incident and the manager's medical condition.
The club are scheduled to face Freiburg in a Bundesliga fixture on Sunday, October 25, 2026, and Kompany's availability for the match could depend on the outcome of his medical assessment.
The possible absence of the manager would be a concern for Bayern as they continue their domestic campaign alongside their European commitments.
Kompany was appointed Bayern Munich manager in 2024 after previously managing Burnley and serving as captain of Manchester City during his playing career.
