Bayern Munich confirmed on Tuesday that head coach Vincent Kompany has returned to the club’s training ground this week, his first visit since he collapsed during a practice session last month.

Bayern did not hold a full training session, as most of their players are away on international duty. The Bundesliga leader is next in action at home against FC Koln on November 20.

The Belgian was discharged from hospital after a meningeal irritation caused him to collapse during a session with the club’s second team. He had been recovering from a virus before the incident.

“Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground. The head coach is also completing rehab on his injured shoulder there,” Bayern said in a statement.

Assistant manager Aaron Danks has been in charge for wins over Freiburg, Magdeburg, Atletico Madrid and Mainz, as well as a 2-2 draw with title rivals Borussia Dortmund.
