He fainted on the field...a medical update from Bayern Munich regarding its coach Kompany

(CNN) - German Bayern Munich revealed, on Saturday, updates on the health condition of the first team’s football coach, Vincent Kompany, after he collapsed unconscious on the field while watching the reserve team’s training.

Bayern Munich's sporting director, Max Eberl, said during a press conference about Kompany's health condition: "The good news is that his condition is stable. I spoke to him and his wife as well last night (Friday). He fell to the ground yesterday, and he will remain in the hospital for a few days to check on his health."

He added: "What happened confirms to us that health is the most important thing in life, not football, and we all wish him a speedy recovery. We are one family in Bayern Munich."

Eberl continued: "The most important thing now is to find out the reason and for Kompany to regain his health again. He will return to lead the team after he fully recovers."

He explained: "He was also suffering from some health problems during the past week, and the doctors are trying to find out the reason, and are pouring all their efforts in this direction."

Max Eberle said: “The tests have shown some results, but we need additional results to accurately determine the diagnosis and know how long he will need to recover. I am not a doctor, but we can support him by showing our love and appreciation for him.”

Meanwhile, Kompany’s assistant coach, Aaron Danks, said: “I spoke with him for a few minutes yesterday, and I assured him that the purpose of my conversation was to check on his health only, and it would not be about anything related to football. The responsibility of managing the team has now been entrusted to us, and we will try to continue moving forward.”

“Bavarians” is scheduled to face its counterpart, Freiburg, at the latter’s stadium, on Sunday, in the seventh round of the German League (Bundesliga), and assistant Vincent Kompany will take charge in his place.

Under Kompany's leadership, Bayern Munich won 4 matches and tied in two in the "Bundesliga" this season 2026/27, occupying first place with 14 points.
