Bayern boss Kompany out of hospital after meningeal irritation

Bayern Munich's sporting director Max Eberl announced on Wednesday that coach Vincent Kompany had been discharged from hospital, revealing the 40-year-old Belgian had been suffering from meningeal irritation. The illness prompted Kompany to collapse on the training pitch in Munich on Friday.
