According to reports, Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has been taken to hospital by ambulance. It's said the Belgian collapsed after training today (Friday 2023).

The 40-year-old has been sick lately and was even at risk of missing Bayern's match against Arsenal during the week. Kompany was well enough, however, to attend the match as normal, watching on as his team drew 2-2 with the Gunners at home in the Champions League.

According to German outlet Bild, via Goal, Kompany was taken to a hospital in Munich after collapsing, and was accompanied by an emergency doctor. It's said that a helicopter reportedly landed at FCB's training ground on Säbener Straße.

The German giants have yet to provide further information or official confirmation.
