Bayern Munich assistant coach Aaron Danks has confirmed that Vincent Kompany is making progress following his collapse last week, though no date has been set for his return.

The 40-year-old Belgian was taken to hospital on Friday after collapsing during a reserve-team training session. Kompany had missed previous sessions while dealing with a virus in the days leading up to the incident, and he is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.

"I paid him a short visit yesterday," Danks said on Tuesday, speaking ahead of Wednesday's German Cup second-round tie against visiting Magdeburg.

"He is in good spirits. It looks like every day he is getting better. There are no major updates in terms of diagnosis or return to work. Let him rest, let him take his time."

The update comes during a busy period for the German champions, who play Magdeburg on Wednesday before facing title rivals Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga Klassiker on Saturday, followed by a challenging Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid next week after a hard fought draw against Arsenal last time out.

"We had some good conversations (with Kompany) but kept it away from football and specific tactics," Danks noted. "It was just a friendly chat and nice to see him and catch up."

Danks described the recent days as an emotional period for the squad, contrasting Kompany’s health scare with Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or on Monday—making him the first Englishman to collect the award since Michael Owen in 2001. Kane beat the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Ousmane Dembele to claim one of the most coveted awards in sport.

"For us, we are super professional," Danks said. "Full extremes of life in the last week. Joys and highs for Harry and the lows of the last days.

"To get through these moments we had to rely on our chemistry, our team spirit and that definitely helped us," he added.
