Bayern Munich have issued an update on the condition of head coach Vincent Kompany, saying the medical examinations are still being carried out, De Telegraaf reports. The club's statement came on Saturday, 24 October 2026, after Kompany collapsed and was taken to hospital.
According to NOS, Kompany is stable but will have to stay in hospital for a few more days. NU reports that he will be absent from his duties for weeks.
HLN quotes the club's position that the timeframe should be measured in weeks rather than days, with Bayern intending to let Kompany be fully examined and then recover. AD.nl, citing Bild, reports that the club had already been concerned for some time about the balance between Kompany's work and private life.
No further details about the cause of the collapse have been made public. Bayern have not given a date for his return, and the club's statement indicates that the picture will become clearer once the tests are complete.
The coming days should bring more information from Bayern on the results of the examinations and on how the team will be handled while Kompany is away.
