Joshua Kimmich is currently in quarantine at home because of a positive corona test. How long and for which games at Bayern Munich will the midfielder be out? Here you can find out.
Since November 6th, he has disappeared from the scene. After his 90-minute appearance in the Bundesliga against SC Freiburg, Joshua Kimmich missed five competitive games in a row – three with Bayern Munich, two with the German national team.

FC Bayern Munich: How long will Joshua Kimmich be out due to Corona?
While the 26-year-old was in isolation, FC Bayern finally announced on November 24th: Kimmich has now also infected himself with COVID-19. From this point on, he must therefore go into quarantine for another 14 days. So this will last until December 8th.
Kimmich can then leave it, provided he is symptom-free and a PCR test also shows a negative result.

FC Bayern Munich: When is Joshua Kimmich back to Corona?
Accordingly, Kimmich could make his comeback on Saturday, December 11th at the earliest, when Mainz 05 will be a guest at the Allianz Arena – in the event of a negative test after the 14 days of quarantine, he would have to catch up with a training deficit and would certainly not be back to 100 percent in a moment.
As soon as Kimmich has shaken off the coronavirus infection, he is considered recovered and falls under the 2G rule.
Since his public announcement on October 23 that he was not vaccinated, the man from Baden-Württemberg has come under massive criticism. National coach Hansi Flick recently announced shortly before Kimmich’s infection that he had talked to him and that he was confident that he would be vaccinated in the foreseeable future.
“It was a very good conversation, I saw a tendency. It worries him a lot. I think that Jo is going in the direction of getting vaccinated. In the future there will be no other way, I think.” , so Flick.
