Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has been discharged from hospital after receiving treatment for meningeal irritation, the Bundesliga club confirmed. Kompany was admitted to a Munich medical facility on October 23 after suffering a collapse at the club's training ground.
Meningeal irritation, also known as meningismus, is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. While the condition requires medical attention, it is typically less severe than meningitis and responds well to treatment.
The Belgian former defender, who took the helm at Bayern Munich in the offseason, is expected to make a complete recovery. His discharge from hospital marks a positive development for the club as it continues its domestic and European campaign.
Bayern Munich did not provide specific details regarding Kompany's return to managerial duties, though the club indicated he is on the path to resuming his responsibilities with the team.
