Bayern Munich will have to do without Joshua Kimmich for a few more weeks. The midfielder is done with his quarantine linked to his Covid-19 contamination, but still cannot play due to a lung problem linked to his infection.
Joshua Kimmich will not return to the field in 2021. This news puts him at the heart of the national debate on vaccination. As a reminder, the player had refused to be vaccinated.
“Do not underestimate the virus”
According to Markus Weinzierl, Augsburg coach, what Joshua Kimmich is going through now proves that even top athletes can experience difficult times due to this virus, especially if they are not vaccinated.
“The personal case of Kimmich, one of the most important players of the German national team, of which he is a captain, and one of the most influential members of Bayern Munich, allows us to understand a lot, in particular that no one should underestimate this virus“Weinzierl said at a press conference.
Choupo-Moting still absent
And Joshua Kimmich is not the only Bayern Munich player on the sidelines: Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is also the case. The striker is struggling to recover from his coronavirus infection and is still considered too weak physically by Bayern Munich staff to resume competition.
A situation that does not suit Cameroon either, which relies on Choupo-Moting for the CAN, which begins in less than a month.
