Man City Legend Vincent Kompany Returns to Bayern Munich Training Following Illness

Man City Legend Vincent Kompany Returns to Bayern Munich Training Following Illness The years spent watching Vincent Kompany marshal the backline at the Etihad Stadium under the likes of Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini, and Pep Guardiola gave millions of fans a lifelong affection for the Belgian defender. In recent times, having lifted multiple Premier League titles and cemented his legacy as the most important captain in Manchester City history, seeing him excel in top-flight management at Bayern Munich has been a source of pride for fans in East Manchester. There was understandable concern across the footballing world following the news that Vincent Kompany had been taken ill after collapsing during a training session in late October, resulting in hospitalisation and a period of medical care. Manchester City supporters in particular will be relieved to now learn that the 40-year-old is already back on the grass at Säbener Straße. Back on the training pitch in Bavaria As confirmed in an official club statement released by the Bundesliga giants, Vincent Kompany is firmly on the road to recovery after stepping away from day-to-day duties last month. Alongside his return to the training ground, the former Manchester City skipper is also completing rehabilitation for a shoulder injury. "Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground at Säbener Straße since the start of the week," the club confirmed. "The FC Bayern head coach is also completing rehab on his injured shoulder there. Kompany was under medical care recently, with assistant coach Aaron Danks filling in." During Vincent Kompany's absence from the dugout, Danks guided the team through a demanding period with admirable composure, securing notable results including a UEFA Champions League victory over Atlético Madrid and a hard-fought draw against Borussia Dortmund . Despite the inevitable disruption caused by their manager's unexpected absence, Bayern Munich have maintained their momentum and still occupy their customary place at the summit of the German top flight, albeit only on goal difference. Manchester City followers tracking their former leader's managerial progress will be pleased to see the Bavarians with 21 league points from the opening nine matches, and still unbeaten in the UEFA Champions League. That is without mentioning the Ballon d’Or win for Vincent Kompany’s talismanic star striker, Harry Kane, last month. With Kompany now back at the office and gradually reintegrating into full training duties following the international break, it will not be long before he is prowling the touchline once again.
