Kompany close to 'full recovery' after collapse

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany, who collapsed at a reserve team training session on October 23 and was hospitalised with meningeal irritation, is reportedly nearing a full recovery according to assistant coach Aaron Danks. Danks has been managing the team in Kompany's absence, with Bayern set to face Mainz on Saturday before an international break that runs until November 20. During Kompany's two-week absence, notable developments at the club include Harry Kane becoming the first Bayern player in 45 years to win the Ballon d'Or and signing a contract extension.
