Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany hospitalized after collapse at training
The Belgian coach collapsed at Bayern Munich’s training ground in Munich and had earlier missed sessions because of a serious viral infection.
On October 23, 2026 at 18:10, Bayern Munich's head coach Vincent Kompany was taken to hospital after collapsing following a training session at the club's training ground in Munich, German media reported.
The Belgian coach had earlier missed parts of preparation due to health issues linked to a serious viral infection, and he was absent from some sessions and the pre-match press conference ahead of the Arsenal game.
Limited official information
There has been no official statement from the club detailing the cause of the collapse or Kompany's current medical condition. Club representatives have said only that he was transported to hospital for urgent checks.
Kompany has in recent weeks admitted he had not paid sufficient attention to his own health, a development that gained attention as Bayern prepared for the European fixtures.
It remains uncertain whether Kompany will be able to lead Bayern in their next Bundesliga match against Freiburg. The club said further updates will follow as more information becomes available.
