Vincent Kompany has returned to Bayern Munich’s training centre as he continues his recovery from meningeal irritation, the Bundesliga champions said on Tuesday.

The Belgian coach was rushed to hospital after collapsing on the training pitch in Munich last month, where he was subsequently diagnosed with the condition.

“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,” Bayern said in a statement.

“Kompany was under medical care recently, with assistant coach Aaron Danks filling in.”

The club added that Kompany was also receiving treatment for a shoulder injury at the training centre.

Following his collapse, Bayern said the 40-year-old was expected to return to take charge of the team from Danks in a “matter of weeks, not days”.

Bayern’s next fixture is against Cologne on November 20, following the international break, giving Kompany additional time to continue his recovery before the team returns to action.

Kompany had appeared unwell and was seen limping during Bayern’s 6-1 home victory over RB Leipzig in mid-October.

He was also a doubt for the club’s Champions League home match against Arsenal four days later but took his place in the dugout for the 2-2 draw, two days before collapsing during training.
