Explained simply
Vincent Kompany is Bayern Munich’s head coach, responsible for preparing the team and making decisions during matches. Bayern are one of Germany’s leading football clubs and compete in the Bundesliga, the country’s top division.
Meningeal irritation is inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can require medical assessment, and the term alone does not establish the cause or how long recovery will take.
Aaron Danks is part of Bayern’s coaching staff and has led the team when Kompany has been absent. The club’s results and preparations matter to its position in the league and its upcoming fixtures.
