Kompany stable on illness: 'We need to protect him from himself'

Kompany collapsed during a reserve training session and was hospitalized after suffering from a virus infection. Bayern Munich's sporting director Eberl provided an update, stating Kompany is in stable condition. Eberl emphasized the importance of finding the cause of Kompany's health issues and ensuring he returns only when fully fit. German media suggest Kompany may have been overworked, as he had previously spent a night in the hospital but was cleared to coach a Champions League match. Eberl defended the club's efforts to protect Kompany, noting they had already advised him to rest. Bayern will not postpone their upcoming match despite recent personal challenges faced by players.
