The corona wave is affecting FC Bayern more and more. Hernández and Nianzou were last caught, and now striker Leroy Sane and defender Dayot Upamecano have also contracted the virus.
After the New Year’s shock about Maldives vacationer Manuel Neuer, the corona alarm at FC Bayern Munich was further tightened at the start of training. On Monday evening, the French Lucas Hernández and Tanguy Nianzou, after positive tests, increased the number of professionals infected with the virus at the autumn football championship to six. On Tuesday, national player Leroy Sané and defender Dayot Upamecano confirmed the positive test result.
At Sané and Upamecano as well as Josip Stanisic it was said on Monday that the diagnosis was “not yet completed”. On Tuesday afternoon, the record champions announced the confirmed infections of the two top performers on Twitter. Coach Julian Nagelsmann will have to open the second half of the Bundesliga against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday with a rump squad of his luxury squad.
On New Year’s Day, Bayern reported the vacation infections of Captain Neuer, Kingsley Coman (Dubai), Corentin Tolisso (France) and Omar Richards as well as assistant coach Dino Toppmöller. World champion Hernández also spent the vacation in the Maldives and is now in quarantine there. Bayern had postponed the training start originally planned for Sunday by one day after the corona outbreak. The rampant Omikron wave could be the biggest stumbling block for Bayern at the beginning of the new year.
After all, a prominent returnee was present at the practice unit on Monday morning: National player Joshua Kimmich was able to start again after his Covid 19 infection with subsequent lung problems. Leon Goretzka, who was injured before Christmas, was also back on the field. The midfielder trained individually with Serge Gnabry after warming up.
Two months after his last appearance in the Bayern jersey, Kimmich, who has since been refined, even seems to be able to play in the classic against Gladbach in view of the shortage of personnel. “He’s coming back strong,” Nagelsmann had already assured with full conviction at the end of the round when Kimmich’s forced break was further delayed due to lung infiltration.
