Vincent Kompany back home after Bayern's cup win

Vincent Kompany was discharged from hospital and is back home, and that quickly became the main news around Bayern München's 6-1 win over 1. FC Magdeburg in Bayern München vs 1. FC Magdeburg. He collapsed last Friday on the Munich training ground and was diagnosed with meningeal irritation.

Kompany's discharge

Max Eberl, speaking to SPORT1 in comments translated from German, called the update "the biggest and the nicest news for all of us". He added that it means rest and medication for Kompany, and said he is very, very sure the coach will be standing on the touchline again at 100 percent very soon.

Aaron Danks was just as upbeat, saying it was a "super sign" and that the club were happy he is doing better. Danks also said Kompany needs his rest, has to recover and be with his family, with Bayern planning to keep going together as a group until he is back.

Bayern's cup night before Dortmund

The football side of the night was still strong enough. Bayern scored six goals and won the DFB-Pokal round of 16 tie 6-1, with Harry Kane first on the bench and then warming up a little before his involvement proved unnecessary.

Jonathan Tah, speaking to SPORT1 in comments translated from German, said the group tried to be professional and show energy on the pitch for those who were not there. He said he was happy Bayern managed that in the last two games.

That leaves a straightforward week for Bayern: the positive update on Kompany first, then Borussia Dortmund on Saturday at 18.30 on Sky. Kane had 7 Bundesliga appearances this season going into the week, and Bayern head into that one with a five-game run that has kept their rhythm intact.
