“He’s in the coaches’ locker room”: Eberl provides an update on Kompany’s absence

FC Bayern thrashed RB Leipzig 6-1 at the Allianz Arena. But while the Munich team put on a truly spectacular performance on the field, coach Vincent Kompany caused some surprise on the sidelines.

The Belgian appeared visibly shaken during the match and was unable to attend the customary postgame press conference after the final whistle. Sporting director Max Eberl later provided an update on the 40-year-old’s health.

Even during the first half, it was noticeable that Kompany was spending an unusually long time on the bench. Normally, the Bayern coach directs his team vocally from the coaching zone.
