Kompany returns to Bayern Munich training ground after collapse

Vincent Kompany has returned to Bayern Munich’s training ground for the first time since collapsing during a practice session last month, according to German media reports.

The Bayern Munich head coach was at the club on Tuesday, although the Bundesliga leaders did not hold a full training session because most of their players are away on international duty.

Bayern’s next match is at home against FC Koln on November 20th.

Kompany was discharged from hospital after suffering meningeal irritation, which caused him to collapse during a session involving Bayern Munich’s second team. The Belgian had been recovering from a virus before the incident and subsequently missed several training sessions.

In his absence, assistant manager Aaron Danks oversaw the team’s victories against Freiburg, Magdeburg, Atletico Madrid and Mainz. Bayern also drew 2-2 with German title rivals Borussia Dortmund.
