Vincent Kompany has reportedly returned to Bayern Munich’s training ground for the first time since collapsing during a practice session in October.

According to German media, the Belgian coach was back at the club on Tuesday, although no full training session took place because most of the squad are away on international duty.

Kompany was previously admitted to hospital after suffering meningeal irritation during a session involving Bayern’s second team. He had been recovering from a virus before the incident and subsequently missed several training sessions.

Assistant coach Aaron Danks took charge in his absence, overseeing victories against Freiburg, Magdeburg, Atletico Madrid and Mainz, as well as a 2-2 draw against title rivals Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern, currently leading the Bundesliga, are scheduled to resume their campaign on 20 November, when they host FC Koln. Kompany’s return represents an encouraging development ahead of the team's next challenge.
