Vincent Kompany waits for the international break to return to Bayern
Vincent Kompany, Bayern's coach, said he will only be able to resume his duties after the international break from November 9 to 17, while his players hope he will not return too early to the bench, stating that they already miss him.
After his emergency hospitalization for meningitis, Kompany returned home to continue his recovery, although he is not yet out of the woods. He nevertheless said he sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
Bayern qualify for the round of 16
Bayern recorded a double piece of good news this Wednesday, according to the media Sports Football Red Devils. First, the coach was able to return home after his emergency hospitalization due to meningitis. Second, Bayern qualified for the round of 16 of the German Cup thanks to a 6‑1 victory over Magdeburg.
The newspaper said it knows the date from which Kompany can sit on the bench again or lead a training session with his players. He is not expected to return before the next international break, which will take place from November 9 to 17. He will thus miss at least three matches: the Bayern‑Dortmund game on October 31, the Atletico‑Bayern match on November 3 and the trip to Mainz on November 7.
A return on November 20 for the home match remains uncertain. It is essential to show patience and take the necessary time to recover fully. Max Eberl highlighted that the news were positive for the club.
Players and staff ask for patience
However, the Bavarian staff and players want him not to return too early, even though they know the coach wants to be present quickly. Harry Kane commented: “He wants to be with us as soon as possible.” He added that, now out of the hospital, it will be harder for Kompany to get enough rest.
Vincent said he looks forward to rejoining the group, but that it is crucial to take his time and rest, while the team will continue as before. Konrad Laimer and Nathaniel Brown said: “We miss him, but he really needs to give himself the necessary time.” Aaron Danks, assistant to Vince the Prince, indicated that he has not spoken to Kompany for a few days, that his health remains the top priority and that football discussions will be addressed in the coming days or weeks, without a specific date set.
Journalist Brian Pierard relayed this information in his article. The site Discover also reported the news. In the meantime, Bayern continues its work on the pitch and will be delighted to have its coach back as soon as possible.
