Kompany discharged after collapse as Bayern rout Magdeburg 6-1
Post
๐ฐ On the day Vincent Kompany left hospital, his Bayern side thrashed Magdeburg 6-1 in the DFB-Pokal without him.
๐ Key points
๐ฅ Kompany collapsed at a reserve-team session on 23 October and was taken to hospital.
๐ง Max Eberl said the cause was meningeal irritation and confirmed his discharge on 28 October.
โณ There is no return date; he will only come back with medical clearance.
โฝ Under caretaker Aaron Danks, Bayern beat Magdeburg 6-1 in the second round.
๐ฏ Olise's 2 goals and an assist took him to 12 for the season, ahead of Kane.
๐ What happened
๐ฅ Kompany, 40, collapsed while watching a reserve training session on Friday 23 October and was taken to hospital. He had been fighting a viral infection since the previous week and missed the press conference before the Arsenal game on 21 October. On 24 October Eberl said: 'We won't be talking about days but weeks,' adding that Kompany 'will be given all the time he needs'.
๐ง Speaking to ARD on 28 October, Eberl said Kompany had collapsed because of meningeal irritation. 'Given the circumstances, he's doing well. He was discharged from the hospital today,' he said, adding he was certain Kompany would soon be back on the touchline at 100 per cent. Kompany will rest at home on medication and only return once doctors clear him.
โฝ English assistant Aaron Danks has taken charge in the meantime. Bayern won 3-1 at Freiburg on 25 October and then beat second-tier Magdeburg 6-1 at the Allianz Arena on 28 October. Olise opened the scoring after 10 minutes and Mateusz Zukowski levelled on 15, but Ismael Saibari (21), Olise from the spot (50), Alphonso Davies (70), Nathaniel Brown (73) and teenager David Santos Daiber in stoppage time finished the job.
๐ Kane, crowned Ballon d'Or winner two days earlier, sat out the whole match on the bench after a pre-match guard of honour. Goal reports that Olise's 2 goals and an assist took him to 12 goals in all competitions, overtaking Kane (10) as the club's top scorer.
๐ By the numbers
โข DFB-Pokal second round: Bayern 6-1 Magdeburg
โข Olise 12 goals this season, Kane 10 (Goal's count)
โข Kompany admitted 23 October, discharged 28 October
โข Danks in charge: 2 games, 2 wins (Freiburg 3-1, Magdeburg 6-1)
๐ญ Why it matters
Despite the shock of their coach collapsing, Bayern have not wobbled, winning both games under the caretaker. With no date for Kompany's return, Danks will also lead the team in Der Klassiker against Dortmund on Saturday 31 October, with the two sides level on points at the top. Bayern then travel to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on 3 November.
