Hoeness expects Kompany to return to Bayern after break

Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeness has spoken about head coach Vincent Kompany’s health and expected return to work. Hoeness expects him to be back on the touchline after the upcoming international break.

“We are very concerned about the situation. But I don’t think Kompany’s condition is that serious. I think he first had a prolonged bout of flu and did not have time to recover fully. Meningitis developed afterward. The illness can be treated,” Hoeness told Welt.

He also said Kompany was under considerable stress and worked 12 hours a day. Hoeness said he believed the coach could return to lead the team in two to three weeks, after the international break.

Earlier reports said Kompany had lost consciousness while watching the team train and had been taken to hospital.
