Vincent Kompany released from hospital: doctors found irritation
Vincent Kompany has left the hospital, confirmed sporting director Max Eberl, who explained that “They have found out what it is”, a meningeal irritation at the origin of the malaise that occurred last Friday during a Bayern Munich training session, before the German Cup match against Magdeburg.
Diagnosis and hospital discharge
Max Eberl indicated that doctors had identified a meningeal irritation as the cause of the malaise. This cause was confirmed during the examination carried out last Friday, which allowed Kompany to be released from the hospital. The diagnosis was communicated on the sidelines of the Cup tie, highlighting the importance of medical transparency.
After his return home, the Belgian will be able to follow a rehabilitation protocol consisting of rest and medication, according to Eberl. He now has permission to go back to his house and continue his convalescence in the comfort of his home. This approach aims to avoid any relapse and ensure a lasting return.
Eberl emphasized that the club will not rush Kompany's return to the bench, mentioning a period of several weeks before a 100 % comeback. The sporting director recalled that patience is essential, as with the player‑coach's previous injuries. The medical staff will monitor Kompany's progress daily.

Outlook and workload
The official stated that the illness must be separated from the work pressure in the Bundesliga. He affirmed that the health issue is in no way linked to the high workload of coaches and players. He also specified that the club will continue to support the coach during his convalescence.
According to the newspaper, Kompany also suffered a shoulder bruise during his fall, although this is not considered critical for his recovery. No signs of seriousness were reported by the medical staff. This information has not been confirmed by Bayern's medical department.
Bayern Munich, the defending champion, will wait until the Belgian is fully recovered before reintegrating him into training, as Eberl reminded. No specific date has been set for his return to the pitch yet. In the meantime, the assistant coach will handle the team's preparation.
The German Cup match between Bayern Munich and 1. FC Magdeburg is being broadcast live, giving supporters the chance to follow the game despite Kompany's absence. The club, often referred to as Der Rekordmeister, remains focused on the competition while closely monitoring the coach's convalescence. Fans hope to see him back soon among the technical staff ranks.
