The club said the former Manchester City defender had been watching a session involving the reserve team at Bayern's Sabener Strasse headquarters when he collapsed.\n\nBayern said Kompany is undergoing thorough examinations at the hospital and will remain under medical care. The club has not yet offered further update on his condition.\n\nThe 40-year-old had already missed training and a press conference on Tuesday ahead of Bayern's Champions League draw against Arsenal at the Allianz Arena. Speaking after that match, Kompany explained his absence, saying he had caught a nasty virus the previous week and had ignored the warning signs. \"I caught a pretty nasty virus last week, and of course I didn't listen to my body -- and then at some point my body just said, 'enough is enough!'\" he said.\n\nNo timeline has been given for his return to the touchline, and Bayern have not commented on how his hospitalization might affect the team's preparations.","published_at":"2026-10-23T22:17:59.704498+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bayern Munich coach Kompany in hospital after collapsing","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bayern-munich-coach-kompany-hospital-200200980.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Vincent Kompany hospitalized after collapsing at Bayern Munich training ground","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/vincent-kompany-collapse-bayern-munich/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Bayern Munich coach Kompany hospitalized after collapsing at training","url":"https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/50258850/bayern-munich-coach-vincent-kompany-hospital-training"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Vincent Kompany taken to hospital after collapsing at Bayern Munich training ground","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7717501/2026/10/23/vincent-kompany-hospital-bayern-munich-training/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Breaking: Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany taken to hospital after collapse","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/breaking-bayern-munich-boss-vincent-152841252.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is stable, here’s what we know","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bayern-munich-coach-vincent-kompany-162107424.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"🚨 Bayern Munich confirm Vincent Kompany has been hospitalised","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bayern-munich-confirm-vincent-kompany-163700818.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bayern release update on Kompany after collapse","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bayern-release-kompany-collapse-163500878.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kompany taken to hospital after collapsing at training","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kompany-taken-hospital-collapsing-training-163908358.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bayern Munich coach Kompany in hospital after collapsing: club","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bayern-munich-coach-kompany-hospital-165154796.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Vincent Kompany hospitalized as air ambulance arrives at Bayern Munich facility","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/vincent-kompany-hospitalized-air-ambulance-164458276.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany hospitalized after collapsing at training","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bayern-munich-coach-vincent-kompany-170243983.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bayern Munich trainer Kompany hospitalized","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bayern-munich-trainer-kompany-hospitalized-170325795.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bayern Munich coach Kompany hospitalized after collapsing","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bayern-munich-coach-kompany-hospitalized-183325870.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Soccer Coach Vincent Kompany Hospitalized After Collapsing During Bayern Munich Training Session","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/soccer-coach-vincent-kompany-hospitalized-190437126.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
