The full picture

Vincent Kompany has been diagnosed with a meningeal irritation and discharged from the hospital, according to Bayern Munich's sporting director Max Eberl. Eberl expressed relief at Kompany's discharge and emphasized that his health is the top priority. Kompany will focus on recovery over the coming days, with the club monitoring his progress daily. There is no definitive timeline for his return to coaching duties.

Bayern Munich plans to assess Kompany's situation day by day, without setting a specific timeframe for his return, to avoid creating unnecessary pressure. Eberl mentioned that Kompany will rest and take medication as part of his rehabilitation. The club is expected to adjust their plans according to Kompany's recovery progress. Aaron Danks and the coaching staff will continue handling team preparations in Kompany's absence.

Eberl is confident that Kompany will return to the touchline once he has fully recovered. The club is cautious about rushing Kompany's return, with Eberl initially indicating that it could take weeks. With Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund approaching, Bayern Munich is preparing without Kompany, and plans may be adjusted based on his recovery progress.
