Concerning details about Man City legend Vincent Kompany emerge following training ground collapse

Concerning details of Vincent Kompany's life have now emerged after he collapsed during Bayern Munich's training session on Friday afternoon. The former Manchester City defender was taken to hospital, where he is now in a stable condition.

The 40-year-old is due to oversee his side's top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash against Freiburg at the Europa-Park Stadion on Sunday, but the second team's training session was forced to be abandoned, with those present said to be 'deeply affected' by the incident.

Kompany has been suffering from a viral infection which is said to have caused problems with old scar tissue in his hip, leaving him in pain and with difficulties climbing stairs.

A new report, which reveals the thoughts of those close to the head coach, has shone light on the things that have contributed to his recent scare.

According to a new report from BILD , several figures at the Bavarian club had noted the 'workaholic' Belgian's lack of work-life balance, claiming he was getting too little sleep, eating irregularly, barely exercising, drinking excessive amounts of coffee, and taking on too much work.

After Wednesday night's 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Champions League , Kompany admitted that he hadn't listened to his body while battling his viral infection. "As a coach, you always want to do everything. I caught a pretty nasty virus last week, and of course, I didn't listen to my body, and then at some point, my body just said: 'That's enough!'"

Kompany is so involved in the entire football operation at Bayern Munich that it has now emerged that he has been the driving force behind the construction of new XXL privacy screens at the training ground to prevent outsiders from spying on sessions.

Assistant coach Aaron Danks will be standing in for Kompany for Sunday's game, but suspects it will be difficult to force his boss to take an extended break. "It's really not easy to get Vincent to rest," he said. "That's a challenge – you know him as a person! He's a true leader and works hard. But he has a virus, and it's important that he rests."

Kompany's condition is said to be stable, according to Sky Germany . In a statement from Bayern Munich, they wrote that he will be examined at hospital "and remain in medical care" and "for the time being, his coaching staff will manage training and match operations."

Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl said on X he will be given "all the time he needs" to recover. He added: "Vincent Kompany's health is our top priority.

> "We at FC Bayern will do everything we can to ensure that he recovers quickly. Vinnie will receive all the necessary medical care and support, as well as all the time he needs."

Man City were among those to wish him a speedy recovery on social media. It is currently unknown how long the Premier League icon will be out for, but it will be closer to weeks rather just a few days.
