Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has been discharged from hospital and is "doing well" after collapsing at the club's training ground last Friday.
The 40-year-old was taken ill while watching the second team train. Medical tests identified the cause as meningeal irritation, an inflammation of the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
"Given the circumstances, he's doing well," Bayern's board member for sports Max Eberl told German broadcaster ARD on Wednesday. "He was discharged from the hospital today. That is the biggest and best news for all of us."
The club said on Saturday that Kompany's return would be a matter of "weeks, not days." No specific timeline has been set.
English assistant coach Aaron Danks has taken charge in Kompany's absence and oversaw a 3-1 victory at Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Kompany had been nursing a virus in the days before his collapse and missed some training sessions. He also missed a pre-match news conference before Bayern's Champions League match against Arsenal last Tuesday but was on the touchline for the game on Wednesday.
"It's a meningeal irritation that caused this incident on Friday. He will now rest and take medication," Eberl said before Bayern's German Cup tie against Magdeburg. "I am very confident that he will be back on the touchline, operating at 100% very soon."
Bayern, currently top of the Bundesliga, face title rivals Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
