Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany returns to Säbener Straße training ground

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has made his first visit to the club's Säbener Straße training ground since collapsing there and being hospitalised.

Kompany, 40, was taken ill during a second-team training session on 23 October and later diagnosed with a meningeal irritation - an inflammation of the membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

The issue has forced him to miss Bayern's last five matches as he recovers in hospital and then at home, with Aaron Danks overseeing the team.

Watch: Well wishes for Kompany

Given Säbener Straße is currently quiet with the majority of the squad away on international duty, Kompany returned to club's HQ at the start of the week and will continue rehabilitition on his recent shoulder injury, a Bayern statement explained.

While senior officials like Max Eberl have been providing regular updates on Kompany's well-being, there is currently no stated timeline for a return to work.

Bayern's next fixture is at home to Cologne on Friday, 20 November.
