Overview
- Kompany collapsed unexpectedly at Bayern’s Säbener Straße training ground last Friday and was taken by emergency services to a Munich specialist clinic.
- Bayern sport director Max Eberl announced doctors found a meningial irritation (meningismus) as the clinical finding behind the collapse.
- Kompany was discharged after several days in hospital and is now recuperating at home with a regimen of rest and medication, reports say he has been given antibiotics and will be out for several weeks.
- The club has not established a definite trigger for the meningial irritation, with a recent viral infection considered a possible cause and doctors continuing differential testing to rule out more serious conditions.
- First‑team duties are covered by the coaching staff, with assistant Aaron Danks acting at matches and Kompany’s earliest practical return framed for after the mid‑November international break.
