Flick expects Kimmich to be vaccinated

National coach Hansi Flick expressed himself confident about a vaccination for Joshua Kimmich at a media meeting of the DFB.

When asked whether he was assuming a Kimmich vaccination, Flick replied: “Yes, I assume, I think that it is going in this direction. We talked and I think it was a very good conversation. I see a tendency with him. Now we have to wait and see. “

The 56-year-old defended Kimmich, who was recently in the public eye: “Jo Kimmich is not to blame for the high number of infections. I don’t think it’s good that he is being pilloried in this way. It’s not that easy for you young people to deal with something like that. “

Kimmich was “very reflective,” continued Flick: “But things also take him with them. I know that he thinks about a lot of things. He’s not someone who gets vaccinated because of pressure. But because of conviction. And there is he one step further. “

Flick also confirmed that Serge Gnabry had received his first vaccination: “Serge received a booster vaccination.” This would be sufficient after the illness has been overcome.

Jamal Musiala also has, according to information from SPOX and GOAL received the first vaccination. He should build up full vaccination protection during the winter break.
