The Story in 60 Seconds

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany's return date remains uncertain after he collapsed at the training ground last week. The 40-year-old manager is in stable condition in the hospital, and assistant coach Aaron Danks confirmed on Tuesday that Kompany is in good spirits as his condition improves daily. However, a return to the dugout before the upcoming November international break is considered unlikely by the club.

Doctors are reportedly investigating potential head or brain issues related to abnormal electrical activity, while the incident is not believed to have been life-threatening. Kompany also reportedly suffered a dislocated shoulder during the fall and had experienced severe headaches linked to excessive workload prior to his collapse. Assistant coach Danks will continue to oversee first-team duties in his absence.
