Vincent Kompany has been discharged from hospital after falling ill last Friday at the Bayern Munich training centre. The information was confirmed by sporting director MaxEberl, who announced the good news shortly before the German Cup match against Magdeburg.
The Belgian coach, who had already dealt with a viral infection in the previous days, was taken to hospital immediately after collapsing during training. The diagnosis, communicated by Eberl to the ARD microphones, is irritation of the meninges. According to the manager, the condition caused the episode of illness and is not linked to the pressures or workloads of the club.
Despite his discharge, Kompany will have to continue his recovery at home. An exact date for his return to the bench cannot be established at this time, but Eberl expressed optimism regarding his speedy recovery, stating that he is "very, very confident that he will be back 100% soon" on the field.
Bayern stressed that the coach's health situation is separate from recent discussions about work and pressure in the Bundesliga, reiterating that the illness is an independent fact.
With Magdeburg's departure imminent, the club is focusing on Kompany's recovery and continuing the season, while fans await his return to the helm with hope.
