By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on MyJoyOnline
Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is back at training after falling ill in late October, diagnosed as meningeal irritation. The club says he is on the road to recovery. His assistant Aaron Danks took charge, with four wins and a draw, ahead of the match against Cologne on 20 November.
Vincent Kompany, 40, Bayern Munich’s coach, has been back at the Bavarian club’s training ground since the start of the week. "Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week," Bayern said in a statement.
The former Manchester City captain was taken to hospital in late October after falling ill while watching the reserve team train. Doctors diagnosed meningeal irritation, an inflammation of the membrane that protects the brain and spinal cord.
No training session took place, with most players away with their national teams during the international break. During Kompany’s absence, Englishman Aaron Danks led the team, which recorded four wins and a draw. The Bundesliga leaders host Cologne on 20 November, at the end of the two-week break.
Bayern are also in the news over Jamal Musiala, whom director Uli Hoeneß doubts will regain his best form, according to our article of 10 November.
