Vincent Kompany returns to Bayern Munich after illness

Vincent Kompany has returned to Bayern Munich after a lengthy absence caused by health problems, visiting the club’s training ground on 10 November, according to German newspaper TZ.

The Bayern Munich head coach had been away from the club for an extended period. The Bundesliga leaders had previously said they expected Kompany to resume his duties after the international break.

Bayern Munich are top of the German league with 21 points from nine matches. Borussia Dortmund have the same number of points but sit second in the table.

Kompany’s return comes ahead of Bayern’s next Bundesliga fixture, against Cologne on 20 November. The 10th-round match is scheduled to kick off at 22:30 Moscow time.
