Vincent Kompany’s hospital discharge is welcome news—could his comeback spark Bayern’s momentum? Max Eberl confirmed the news on Wednesday.
The Belgian coach was rushed to a Munich hospital after fainting during a reserve squad session last Friday.
He skipped pre‑match media duties ahead of the Arsenal clash due to a virus, yet still managed the bench for the 2‑2 draw.
Eberl told ARD that Kompany is “doing well” and added, in my view, his swift return will lift the squad’s spirit as Bayern thrashed Magdeburg 6‑1.
The collapse stemmed from a meningeal irritation; doctors prescribe rest and medication, and expect him back on the sideline soon, fully fit.
No firm date has been set; Kompany will only resume duties after clear medical approval, a point echoed by assistant Aaron Danks.
After the Magdeburg win, Eberl said there’s still no timeline, but the progress is undeniably positive for his recovery.
He noted that Kompany can now rest at home, close to family, which is crucial, though no exact return window is known.
The medical team will stay in close contact, and when the moment is right, Kompany will rejoin us in full health.
Meanwhile the club will keep pushing forward, with players and staff maintaining their hard work.
Eberl mentioned he hasn’t spoken to Kompany recently, but their working relationship remains unchanged.
Health remains the top priority; the aim is full recovery before he returns to full fitness and duties.
In the weeks ahead, conversations will gradually resume as his condition improves.
No timetable exists yet; the focus stays on his health and proper recovery time.
Danks stepped in, guiding the side to a 3‑1 victory at Freiburg, while Bayern prepare for a title clash with Dortmund on Saturday. Will Kompany be back in time for that showdown?
