Vincent Kompany was taken to hospital after collapsing at Bayern Munich's training ground on Friday. The club confirmed that Kompany, who was watching the second team's training session, required medical attention. His current condition is reported to be stable, and he will undergo thorough examinations while remaining in medical care.

Bayern Munich released a statement regarding the incident, indicating that Kompany's coaching staff will manage training and match operations in his absence. The first-team coach has been dealing with a viral infection recently, which prevented him from attending the pre-match press conference for the Champions League game against Arsenal.

Despite his recent health issues, Kompany was able to lead the team from the dugout during the 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Wednesday. His ability to participate in that match highlights his resilience despite ongoing health concerns. Bayern Munich is set to face Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

The club is closely monitoring Kompany's health as he receives treatment. His situation has raised concerns among fans and the football community, given his recent illness and the unexpected nature of his collapse during training. The focus will now be on his recovery and return to coaching duties.
