Vincent Kompany was taken to hospital by helicopter after collapsing during a Bayern Munich training session at Säbener Straße on Friday. According to Sky Sports, a rescue helicopter landed at the training ground to take the Belgian coach directly to a hospital in Munich, where an ambulance had first attended to him.
Kompany had missed the pre-match press conference ahead of the Champions League clash with Arsenal. He still led his team from the dugout as normal, after sitting through the full 90 minutes of the match against RB Leipzig.
Pain before the Arsenal game
Sky Sports reported that Kompany had already felt pain in his legs before the Arsenal match. The broadcaster linked the discomfort to a virus and the hip problems that followed.
