Vincent Kompany is seeing light at the end of the tunnel. The Bayern Munich coach is close to returning to work after a difficult health period caused by meningitis. The Belgian tactician, who suffered an unexpected collapse during training on October 23 and ended up in hospital, is completing the recovery phase.
After a week in hospital, Kompany has returned to his home in the south of Munich, where he is following a period of complete rest and daily medical treatment. The doctors’ advice has been clear: the less contact with football, the more sleep, and avoiding any physical or mental overload.
Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, has given positive signals about the coach’s condition, stressing that recovery is going according to plan and without any delay. Uli Hoeness has also expressed optimism, confirming that Kompany is expected to return after the international fixtures.
During the Belgian’s absence, Bayern have been led by assistant Aaron Danks, who recorded four wins and one draw in five matches. Kompany has maintained constant contact with the staff and players.
According to projections, he could return to the training centre next week, with the aim of the match against Cologne on November 20. Five days later, the Bavarians play away to Lille in the Champions League.
