Bayern Munich’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß put Vincent Kompany’s scary training ground collapse last month down to “an immense amount of stress” after detailing the brutal demands put upon the manager of the German champions.
Kompany was rushed to hospital on Oct. 23 after collapsing to the turf while watching Bayern Munich’s second team train. The former Premier League-winning center back had been dealing with a virus in the preceding few weeks, with reports claiming he had difficulty walking up a flight of stairs before Bayern’s 6–1 drubbing of RB Leipzig.
