Vaccination skeptic Kimmich has to be quarantined again as an unvaccinated contact person

Vaccination skeptic Joshua Kimmich from FC Bayern Munich has to be quarantined again as an unvaccinated contact person for someone infected with corona. The club confirmed corresponding media reports on Friday afternoon a few hours before the Bundesliga game at FC Augsburg on Friday (8.30 p.m. in the live ticker).

National player Kimmich will not only miss the German record champions in the derby at FCA, but also in the Champions League group game at Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday (6.45 p.m. / both DAZN).

On Thursday, Kimmich, who has so far refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19, was not present at the final training session. A “pure precaution,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Kimmich had recently already missed the international matches against Liechtenstein and in Armenia as the contact person for teammate Niklas Süle who had tested positive and had only returned from quarantine at the beginning of the week.

In addition to Süle, defender Josip Stanisic is currently also missing at Bayern after a positive corona test. Süle and Stanisic are double vaccinated.
