Vincent Kompany Taken to Hospital

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany was taken to hospital on Friday after collapsing during training. According to a club statement, Kompany fell to the ground while watching the second team's training session and needed medical treatment. BILD reported that an ambulance helicopter landed on the training ground.

The club said in its statement that Kompany would undergo a thorough examination at the hospital and remain under treatment. Kompany has been dealing with health issues for some time. The 40-year-old coach caught a viral infection last week and said he had felt pain in his legs. However, it is not yet known whether his medical condition on Saturday is linked to that infection.

Kompany also missed training sessions on Monday and Tuesday. Those sessions were led by assistant coach Aaron Danks. Bayern were preparing to face Arsenal in the Champions League. Kompany had led the team from the touchline in the 6-1 win over RB Leipzig, but did not attend the post-match press conference.

Bayern Munich have faced another health issue this season. Midfielder Jamal Musiala collapsed during pre-season friendlies due to micro-seizures linked to a neurological disorder. The club has not lost a game this season and is level at the top of the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund.

The team travels to Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday. The club has not issued a new statement on Kompany's health.
