Bayern postpone second team after Kompany's sudden collapse

Bayern Munich has postponed the match of its second team after coach Vincent Kompany suddenly fell ill on Thursday during a youth training session, but the club says he is now stable and under medical care and fully recovering.

Reserve activities and upcoming derby

Vincent Kompany is not limited to the first team at Bayern Munich; he is closely involved with the reserves. Last weekend he looked ahead to the U23 derby against TSV 1860 Munich, in which the club's young talents would face each other.

During a youth training session on Thursday, Kompany suddenly fell ill. The first‑team players were still in the locker room at that moment, but Bayern's talents witnessed the collapse up close.

Club makes decision after incident

The incident clearly affected the club, leading Bayern, in consultation with the parties involved, to decide to postpone the second‑team match in the Regionalliga against DJK Vilzing, which was scheduled for Saturday. The players are considered mentally unable to play.

According to journalists Philipp Kessler and Manuel Bonke, the 40‑year‑old coach had already spent a night in the hospital a few days earlier for observation. The examinations did not reveal any alarming results, prompting him to want to get back to work immediately.
