Bayern: a date announced for Vincent Kompany’s return

Good news emerged for Vincent Kompany this Thursday.

Days after falling ill at training last Friday, the Bayern Munich coach was discharged from hospital on Wednesday. Vincent Kompany was allowed to return home to recover from meningitis.

“Recovery means rest and medication. So I am absolutely certain that he will be back on the pitch at 100% very soon,” Max Eberl said on Wednesday on the sidelines of the German Cup match that Bayern won comfortably against Magdeburg (6-1).
