Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has been taken to hospital after collapsing while watching the club’s second team train on Friday, the club said. His coaching staff will take charge of training and match operations while he receives medical care.
The 40-year-old had recently been unwell with a virus and missed Tuesday’s pre-match news conference before Bayern’s Champions League match against Arsenal. He was on the touchline for the match.
Bayern said Kompany would undergo a thorough examination and remain in hospital. Sporting director Max Eberl said the club would provide the care and time needed for his recovery.
Bayern are due to play Freiburg in the German top flight on Sunday. Assistant coach Aaron Danks previously took Kompany’s place at the news conference before the Arsenal match.
