Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, revealed that Vincent Kompany was discharged from the hospital after being treated for meningeal irritation, a condition distinct from meningitis. Kompany was hospitalized for several days following the diagnosis. Eberl provided this update after Bayern's 6-1 victory in the DFB Cup against 1. FC Magdeburg. The diagnosis was made after extensive examinations.

Eberl emphasized that Kompany's treatment requires rest over the next few days. He expressed relief at Kompany's discharge from the hospital, calling it "the best news of the entire day". Eberl criticized the speculation about Kompany's return, stating that it was absurd to discuss his comeback so soon after his discharge. He prioritized Kompany's health, saying he would get the time needed to recover.

Eberl could not provide a specific date for Kompany's return, stating that it would depend on the doctors' assessment. He expressed optimism that Kompany would make a full recovery and resume his coaching duties. Eberl suggested that Kompany might need to adjust his workload in the future, jokingly mentioning "one less cup of coffee, maybe one more afternoon off".
