Comeback after the vaccination crisis
After Corona, Kimmich can train again
Joshua Kimmich’s very own corona crisis is one of the big topics of the fourth quarter of 2021. The national player first talks about his vaccination fears, then has to be quarantined twice and is not infected without complications. Now there are first indications of the upcoming comeback.
Joshua Kimmich is back – at least on social networks. Shortly before Christmas, the national player published a photo of himself with a snowy mountain backdrop in the background after his lung problems. “Merry Christmas to you all!” Wrote the 26-year-old midfielder for the German soccer champions FC Bayern Munich. One of the hashtags was: “The lazy skin has one.”
At Kimmich, another medical check was due this week after lung problems as a result of his corona disease. “He is doing well, what I hear from our doctors is getting better every day,” reported Bayern Munich’s club president Herbert Hainer on Sunday on the TV broadcaster Sport1. “He will be examined again at the beginning of this week. Then hopefully after the winter break he will be able to resume normal training.”
Will Kimmich be there at the start of the training?
According to RTL / ntv.de information, this investigation went well. The national player can now start training again and could be with the team again for the start of training in the new year.
The German series champion had to play the last eight competitive games of the year without Kimmich. The league leaders will start training again on January 2nd after the Christmas break. Five days later, the first Bundesliga second round match against Borussia Mönchengladbach takes place. However, Kimmich must first be introduced to the higher loads individually, as coach Julian Nagelsmann had already announced.
Kimmich’s return to the football field is delayed due to lung infiltration. Because of the deposits, he must not yet fully exercise his body again. Kimmich last played in early November. Because he was not vaccinated, he initially had to be quarantined twice as a contact person. Then he infected himself. After a long hesitation, he announced that he wanted to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
