Vincent Kompany, the head coach of FC Bayern, has been diagnosed with meningitis and is advised to focus on recovery, according to FCBinside. The club is keeping him out of day-to-day team affairs, with Sporting Director Max Eberl stating that Kompany will start rehab involving rest and medication. Aaron Danks, the assistant coach, confirmed that Kompany is not being updated on soccer matters.

The club is deliberately keeping Kompany out of soccer operations to ensure his full recovery, with Danks stating that Kompany is to spend time with his family and not be involved in team decisions until he returns. Eberl emphasized that Kompany will be given all the time needed for a full recovery, and the club does not want to put pressure on him. Kompany's return is uncertain but potentially possible for the home game against 1. FC Köln on November 20.

Kompany's diagnosis of meningitis is considered unrelated to his previous viral infection, according to Eberl. The treating doctors will determine when Kompany is fit to return, and until then, Aaron Danks and the coaching staff will handle sporting decisions and match preparations. Kompany is not expected to return before the international break from November 9 to 17.
