Bayern Munich has released an update on the condition of its coach, Vincent Kompany, who collapsed on the field during the Bavarian team’s training session on Friday afternoon. In a statement posted on social media, the German champions announced that the 40-year-old coach is in the hospital under medical care.

“Vincent Kompany required medical attention on Friday after collapsing during a training session with Bayern Munich’s reserve team. The first-team coach was observing the reserve team’s session. Kompany will undergo thorough medical examinations at the hospital and will remain under medical care. Until further notice, his coaching staff will take charge of training sessions and matches.”

Sports director Max Eberl said: “Vincent Kompany’s health is our top priority. At Bayern Munich, we will do everything possible to ensure he recovers quickly. The coach will receive all the necessary medical care and support, and will have all the time he needs. His coaching staff, in whom we have full confidence, will take over his duties. All of us at Bayern Munich wish Vinnie a speedy recovery.”

Kompany had missed the final training session and the press conference for the Champions League match against Arsenal due to a viral infection. Bild reported that Kompany collapsed shortly before the Under-23 team’s training session—a dramatic moment that shocked everyone present.
