According to a report from Tz journalists Manuel Bonke, Philipp Kessler, and Hanna Raif, Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany reportedly dislocated his shoulder during his collapse at Säbener Straße, with the coach still undergoing medical examinations.
Per the report from Tz’s Absolut Bayern newsletter, the 40-year-old Belgian suffered the injury when he fell and struck the ground at Bayern Munich’s training facility on Friday afternoon. An ambulance transported Kompany to a Munich hospital,
where he received immediate medical attention before being admitted for further testing:
Vincent Kompany is still undergoing tests at a Munich hospital. As of Monday, there was still no specific diagnosis regarding what caused the Bayern head coach to collapse on Friday afternoon. Absolut Bayern has now learned new details about the accident: The 40-year-old reportedly dislocated his shoulder when he collapsed and hit the ground on the training ground at Säbener Straße. After the Belgian was taken to the hospital by ambulance, he received immediate first aid.
Only then was the Belgian admitted to the hospital. He had reportedly been suffering from severe headaches all day. Accordingly, Kompany underwent comprehensive neurological examinations in recent days. At least: The Belgian apparently recognized before his collapse that his current workload was too high.
Therefore, according to information from Absolut Bayern, he has already initiated measures behind the scenes to lighten his workload. Because: Kompany knows that he needs to fundamentally change his lifestyle, which involves too little sleep due to nightly video analysis.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear. As of Monday, doctors had reportedly yet to establish a specific diagnosis explaining what caused Kompany to collapse. The report also states that he had been experiencing severe headaches throughout the day, prompting comprehensive neurological examinations in the days that followed.
Another important detail emerging from the report is that Kompany had apparently recognized that his workload had become excessive and had already begun taking steps behind the scenes to address the problem.
His demanding routine reportedly included staying up late to analyze match footage, leaving him with insufficient sleep. Kompany is now said to understand that meaningful changes to his lifestyle are necessary.
For Bayern Munich, the priority remains the health and recovery of their head coach. Football can wait. Hopefully, Kompany gets the answers he needs, takes the time to recover properly, and returns when he is ready.
