FC Bayern: Bei Danks in besten Händen


Head coach in hospital after collapsing in training
Assistant coach Aaron Danks to take charge against Freiburg
Bayern Munich expect Vincent Kompany to miss an extended period as their head coach continues his hospital treatment for a virus after collapsing on the training pitch on Friday. Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, confirmed Kompany was still in hospital in a stable condition.
Kompany’s English assistant coach, Aaron Danks, will replace the 40-year-old for Sunday’s Bundesliga match at Freiburg. Eberl said examinations were continuing to determine the nature of the former Manchester City and Belgium captain’s condition, with a recovery timeframe yet to be determined.

Manager’s grounded attitude has helped the free-scoring German giants set up a tantalising Champions League showdown and de facto final
If you thought that was good, wait until you have done it at Ewood Park. While everyone else struggled to compose themselves after watching a modern classic unfold between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, it was Vincent Kompany who supplied the cooling balm. He had just taken Bayern back to the Champions League semi-finals in scintillating fashion, another feat to justify the decision to take him from Burnley two years ago.
