Vincent Kompany was rushed to hospital on Friday after an air ambulance landed at Bayern Munich’s training ground on Säbener Straße, raising serious concerns about the health of the 40-year-old head coach. Kompany had already been dealing with a viral infection in the days leading up to the incident.

Despite his illness, Kompany had managed to oversee Bayern’s 6-1 Bundesliga victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday. However, according to BILD, the Belgian was forced to lie down on a sofa in his coach’s room both at half-time and after the final whistle, suggesting his condition was more serious than initially indicated.

Alarm bells rang louder earlier in the week when assistant coach Aaron Danks took Kompany’s place at Bayern’s pre-match press conference on Tuesday, ahead of the club’s Champions League tie against Arsenal.

No further details about Kompany’s condition or the nature of the medical emergency have been confirmed at this stage. The situation remains developing.
