Vincent Kompany has returned to Bayern Munich’s training ground at Säbener Straße following a week-long absence due to illness.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany was reportedly back at the club's training ground at Säbener Straße on Tuesday after being absent due to illness since collapsing on October 23.

According to TZ, Kompany was sitting at his computer in his office at the club's headquarters shortly after 10am.

The 40-year-old Belgian coach was greeted by assistant Floribert Ngalula and later held a longer conversation with sporting director Christoph Freund.

From his office, Kompany was also able to watch injured players such as Luis Diaz and Jamal Musiala continue their rehabilitation training on the pitch.

Kompany had been absent since collapsing on the training pitch on October 23, two days before Bayern Munich's 3-1 Bundesliga win over SC Freiburg.

The 40-year-old was subsequently diagnosed with meningeal irritation and continued his recovery at home after being discharged from hospital.

Bayern assistant Aaron Danks was in charge for the five games Kompany missed.

Kompany is expected to return to the touchline when Bayern Munich face 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga on November 20, following the international break.
