Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany dislocated his shoulder after collapsing at the training ground and is being treated in hospital.

Vincent Kompany, 40, collapsed during a Bayern Munich training session and dislocated his shoulder. He was airlifted to hospital in Munich, where he remains recovering. According to Bild, Kompany also suffered seizures after falling. Doctors have ruled out a heart attack and stroke, with the issue not thought to be life-threatening, though they continue investigating a potential brain issue.

Kompany has been absent from the touchline since Bayern's Champions League draw with Arsenal last week. Club interim manager Aaron Danks said on Tuesday: 'It looks like he's getting better every day. That's positive. But there is no major news regarding his diagnoses or his return to work.' Harry Kane, who won the Ballon d'Or as Kompany's player, said the manager phoned him on Monday morning and told him he feels 'on the mend'.

Kompany is not expected back in the dugout for several weeks. He has received visits from club president Herbert Hainer, sporting director Max Eberl, and honorary president Uli Hoeness while recovering in hospital.
