The 40-year-old manager was taken ill during a routine session with the club’s second team, sparking immediate concern among staff and players.
Medical professionals subsequently diagnosed the Belgian coach with meningeal irritation following the frightening incident.
This serious health scare has understandably forced him to step away from his duties, missing the Bavarians’ last five matches across all competitions.
On the Road to Recovery
The club have now officially confirmed that their manager is firmly “on the road to recovery” after a challenging period. He will complete his ongoing rehabilitation in the familiar surroundings of the Sabener Strasse complex.
Alongside the initial diagnosis of meningeal irritation, Kompany is also dealing with a painful physical setback. The manager reportedly suffered a dislocated shoulder when he fell to the turf during the training ground collapse.
He was recently pictured arriving at the Sabener Strasse base with his arm supported in a sling as he begins his tailored physical rehabilitation programme.
An official Bayern Munich statement offered reassurance to supporters, noting that the manager is making positive strides as he builds up his overall fitness.
