Kompany returns to Bayern headquarters after illness

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has returned to the team's training ground for the first time after illness, the Bundesliga club said in a statement on Tuesday, reported dpa.

"Vincent Kompany is on the road to recovery and has been back at the training ground since the start of the week," Bayern said.

The German champions added that Kompany is completing rehab on his injured shoulder at the team's headquarters.

Kompany collapsed during training just over two weeks ago and was taken to hospital, where doctors diagnosed meningeal irritation. Assistant coach Aaron Danks has stood in for him for five games, winning four and drawing one.

Last Sunday, Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeness said that Kompany was expected to be back on the sidelines in two to three weeks.
