Bayern Munich, Vincent Kompany, Aaron Danks and Borussia Dortmund
30 October 2026
Bayern Munich have instructed recovering manager Vincent Kompany not to participate in preparations for Saturday’s Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund. The decision follows his hospital discharge after collapsing last week.
Assistant Aaron Danks confirmed that staff have been told not to discuss football with Kompany while he recovers from meningeal irritation. Danks will continue overseeing Bayern’s match preparations after managing their 6-1 German Cup victory over Magdeburg. Kompany’s return date remains unconfirmed.
Why It Matters
Bayern will face a major title rival without Kompany directing preparations or managing from the touchline.
