Bayern coach Vincent Kompany returns to club for first time since collapse

MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has returned to the club’s training ground for the first time since he collapsed during practice last month. Bayern also revealed he suffered a shoulder injury.

The 40-year-old Kompany had medical treatment scheduled at the Säbener Strasse complex as he took another step toward his planned return after the international break.

“Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground at Säbener Strasse since the start of the week,” the club said on Tuesday. “The FC Bayern head coach is also completing rehab on his injured shoulder there. Kompany was under medical care recently, with assistant coach Aaron Danks filling in.”

Bayern had no team training on Tuesday with most of the players away. The team’s next game is at home to Cologne in the Bundesliga on Nov. 20.

Bayern powerbroker Uli Hoeness said on Sunday that Kompany would return in time for that match.

Kompany collapsed while observing a training session on Oct. 23 and was hospitalized for meningeal irritation, an inflammation of the tissue around the brain or spinal cord. He had been dealing with a viral infection and hip injury.

Danks took charge of the team while Kompany was away and oversaw wins against Freiburg, Magdeburg, Atlético Madrid and Mainz with the only blot a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund in der Klassiker on Oct. 31.
