Vincent Kompany has made his return to Bayern Munich's training ground following a health scare that hospitalised the head coach late last month.

The 40-year-old, who captained Manchester City during his playing career, was rushed to hospital after falling ill while observing the club's reserve team in training. He was subsequently diagnosed with meningeal irritation — an inflammation of the membrane that protects the brain and spinal cord.

Bayern Munich confirmed the news in an official statement: "Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week."

Danks steps up in Kompany's absence

With most of Bayern's first-team squad dispersed on international duty, no formal training session was held at the club's facility on his return.

English coach Aaron Danks took the reins during Kompany's spell away from the dugout, guiding the Bundesliga leaders through an impressive run of four wins and a draw across five matches.

Bayern Munich are next in action on 20 November, when they host Cologne in what will be their first fixture after the conclusion of the two-week international break.
