Bayern Munich beat Freiburg to return to the top of the Bundesliga whilst manager Vincent Kompany recovers in hospital after collapsing during a reserve-team training session on Friday. The club paid tribute to their absent manager during the match.
Assistant coach Aaron Danks provided an update on Kompany's condition on Tuesday, ahead of Bayern's German Cup second-round tie against Magdeburg on Wednesday. 'He is in good spirits. It looks like every day he is getting better,' Danks said. 'There are no major updates in terms of diagnosis or return to work.' The 40-year-old Belgian is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.
Danks noted that he visited Kompany and kept their conversation away from football and tactics. 'It was just a friendly chat and nice to see him and catch up,' he said. Bayern face a busy schedule with fixtures against Magdeburg, title rivals Borussia Dortmund on Saturday and a Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid to follow.
