Kompany discharged from hospital, heart attack ruled out

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has been discharged from hospital after collapsing on the training ground on Friday. According to reports in the German press, doctors ruled out a heart attack and stroke, and the Belgian coach was then sent home. Kompany is not expected to be in charge of the team for several weeks.

Kompany is believed to have suffered a seizure during the incident. The medical team is focusing on meningeal irritation, meaning inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It has also been reported that the head coach had missed some training sessions for a while due to a viral infection.

According to BILD, the 40-year-old coach dislocated his shoulder when he fell to the ground. His duties will be taken over by assistant Aaron Danks. Danks had previously told fans that Kompany was getting a little better every day.

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl said in a statement to ARD on Wednesday that Kompany's condition was good. Eberl described the discharge as the biggest and best news for everyone. It was reported that Kompany will now rest and take medication.
