Bayern Munich have received a welcome boost after manager Vincent Kompany returned to the club's training ground following a recent health scare.
The Belgian was taken to hospital after collapsing, raising concerns over his condition and leaving Bayern carefully monitoring his recovery.
However, the 40-year-old has now made his return to Säbener Straße, with reports in Germany confirming he was back at the club on Tuesday morning.
Kompany returns to work after hospitalisation
According to TZ journalist Philipp Kessler, Kompany arrived at Bayern's training ground shortly after 10am, where he was seen working from his office.
He also held discussions with sporting director Christoph Freund, while briefly being greeted by assistant coach Floribert Ngalula.
Kompany was also able to watch injured players, including Luis Diaz and Jamal Musiala, continue their rehabilitation work on the training pitches.
Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeneß had previously suggested the manager could be absent for another two or three weeks, with a return to the touchline expected after the international break.
Speaking to Bayerischer Rundfunk, Hoeneß explained that Kompany had been working excessive hours before his collapse.
"He was working twelve hours a day, six days a week — that was simply too much," he said.
The manager's return to the club is an encouraging development for Bayern, although his recovery and health will remain the priority as he gradually resumes his responsibilities.
