Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has been discharged from hospital following his collapse last week.<\/p>\n
The Bundesliga champions’ director of sport Max Eberl told German broadcaster ARD that Kompany, 40, had been diagnosed with meningeal irritation after being admitted to hospital on Friday.<\/p>\n
Eberl was speaking before Bayern\u2019s 6-1 thrashing of Magdeburg in the DFB Pokal at the Allianz Arena last night, five days after Kompany had collapsed while watching the club\u2019s second team train.<\/p>\n
“Given the circumstances, he\u2019s doing \u2060well,” Eberl said.<\/p>\n
He added: “He \u200cwas discharged from the hospital (on Wednesday).<\/p>\n
“That is the biggest and best news for all of \u200cus.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s a meningeal irritation that caused this incident on Friday.<\/p>\n
“He will now rest and take medication and I am certain that he will \u2060very soon be back on the touchline, operating at 100%.”<\/p>\n
Eberl had said on Friday that it would be “weeks, not days” before the Belgian, who had been ill with a virus, would be able to return to work.<\/p>\n
Harry Kane revealed after his Ballon d\u2019Or win in London on Monday night that Kompany had telephoned him to wish him luck earlier that morning.<\/p>\n
Kompany missed Saturday\u2019s 3-1 Bundesliga win at Freiburg, with Englishman Aaron Danks taking charge of the \u2060team for that match and the cup win over Magdeburg.<\/p>\n
Bayern are top of the table on goal difference, level on points with Borussia Dortmund who they play at home on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has been discharged from hospital following his collapse last week.
