## Summary

Vincent Kompany has been discharged from hospital after collapsing at Bayern Munich’s training ground and is reported to be doing well. The club says he will rest and take medication, but his return as head coach is expected to take weeks, meaning he will miss upcoming matches.

The 40-year-old was taken ill while watching the second team train last Friday; doctors identified meningeal irritation, inflammation of the membrane around the brain and spinal cord. Kompany had recently been unwell with a virus and missed training sessions. Assistant coach Aaron Danks has led Bayern in his absence, including their 3-1 win over Freiburg, as the Bundesliga leaders prepare to face Borussia Dortmund.
