Vincent Kompany rushed to hospital from Bayern Munich's training ground in ambulance after viral infection left manager struggling to climb stairs

Vincent Kompany has been taken to a hospital in Munich by ambulance from Bayern Munich's training ground.

Kompany, 40, has been suffering from a viral infection which is said to have caused problems with old scar tissue, leaving him with difficulties climbing stairs.

BILD report that a helicopter had landed at Bayern's training ground earlier on Friday. The former captain of Manchester City, who won four Premier League titles, later went to hospital in an ambulance.

After a 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday, Kompany had said: 'As a coach, you always want to do everything and accomplish everything. I caught a pretty nasty virus last week, and of course I didn't listen to my body, and then at some point my body said: "Stop now!"'
