The illness prompted Kompany to collapse on the training pitch in Munich on Friday. Following his discharge, Eberl informed ARD that the cause had been identified as meningeal irritation, which triggered the incident. Bayern Munich stated it would take weeks, not days, for Kompany to return to the dugout, with English assistant coach Aaron Danks stepping in for the duration.",
