The Belgian was discharged from hospital after suffering a meningeal irritation that caused him to collapse. The incident happened during a session with the club's second team, after Kompany had already been recovering from a virus. He had missed several training sessions since.

In his absence, assistant manager Aaron Danks took charge. He oversaw wins over Freiburg, Magdeburg, Atletico Madrid and Mainz, plus a 2-2 draw with Bundesliga title rivals Borussia Dortmund.
