Head coach Vincent Kompany has returned to Bayern Munich's training ground after collapsing at the end of last month.

The 40-year-old former Manchester City captain was taken to hospital after falling ill while watching the club's second team train.

Kompany was diagnosed with meningeal irritation - an inflammation of the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Bayern said in a statement: "Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week."

However, the Bundesliga leaders did not hold a training session, with most players away on international duty.

English coach Aaron Danks has been in charge during Kompany's absence, leading Bayern to four victories and a draw.

They face Cologne next on 20 November after the end of the two-week international break.
