For the first time since collapsing at the same venue, Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has been spotted back at the club’s training ground, now wearing a sling to support the shoulder he dislocated at the time.
Kompany’s recovery has become a topic of widespread interest. This is a fit and healthy 40-year-old former athlete of the highest standard who was forced into hospital under the strain of modern management. As Bayern’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß recently explained, Kompany had neglected flu symptoms while trying to keep up with the demands of working 12 hours a day. Eventually, it caught up to him.
