Danks stated that the medical team was managing the situation and that the duration of the recovery period remained uncertain.
Ongoing Medical Monitoring
Despite the ongoing illness, Kompany had been present on the bench for Bayern’s match against RB Leipzig this past Saturday. Observers noted that he appeared subdued throughout the encounter and remained seated for the duration of the game.

As of now, Bayern Munich has not provided further details regarding the specific nature of his condition or a timeline for his return to the dugout. The club maintains that the coaching staff will continue to lead operations until further notice.
