Kompany Discharged from Hospital, Health Condition Announced

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has brought good news. The 40-year-old coach, who was taken to hospital after collapsing on the training ground, was discharged after five days and returned home.

According to BILD in the German press, Sporting Director Max Eberl spoke about Kompany's health ahead of Wednesday evening's match against Magdeburg. In his assessment to ARD, Eberl said they had determined the cause of the illness.

According to Eberl, the condition behind the incident last Friday is meningeal irritation. It was also reported that the Belgian coach had previously been fighting a viral infection.

Despite his discharge, Kompany is not expected to return to the training ground any time soon. He will continue to rest at home, and it has not yet been determined when he will rejoin the team. Eberl said he was certain Kompany would be 100 percent ready on the touchline very soon.

Eberl also stressed that the health problem should not be linked to the intense pressure of the Bundesliga. In his view, it is an illness that should be assessed separately and has nothing to do with the pressure on the league.
