Kompany Missed Arsenal Press Conference With Virus
The incident follows a week of illness for the Bayern boss. Kompany missed the pre-match news conference on Tuesday ahead of Bayern’s Champions League clash with Arsenal because he was suffering from a virus, though he still took his place on the touchline for the match itself.
Kompany was appointed Bayern Munich manager in May 2024, and his coaching staff will now oversee preparations for Bayern’s next game, a Bundesliga trip to Freiburg on Sunday. Everyone at the club will be hoping for good news from the hospital in the coming days.
