The German club confirmed on Tuesday that the 40-year-old Belgian had been back at its Säbener Straße training complex since the beginning of the week.
In a statement, Bayern said Kompany was “on the road to recovery” and was also undergoing rehabilitation for a shoulder injury sustained around the time of his collapse. Kompany was taken to hospital on October 23 after becoming ill while observing a training session involving the club’s second team. He was subsequently diagnosed with meningeal irritation, an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
He had reportedly been recovering from a viral infection before the incident. His absence saw assistant coach Aaron Danks take charge of the team. Under Danks, Bayern recorded victories over Freiburg, Magdeburg, Atlético Madrid and Mainz, alongside a 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on October 31.
Bayern are scheduled to host Cologne on November 20 following the international break. Club honorary president Uli Hoeneß has indicated that Kompany could be back for the fixture, although the club has not formally confirmed a date for his return to the touchline.
His return to the training complex is an encouraging development, but he remains in rehabilitation as he works towards resuming his coaching responsibilities.
