The examination of Joshua Kimmich’s lungs is said to have been promising. The national player of FC Bayern had infiltrations as a result of his corona infection. Now he made people sit up and take notice with a personal message.
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 of FC Bayern Munich on Thursday. One of the hashtags was: “The one that’s lying on the lazy skin”.
At Kimmich, another medical check was due this week after lung problems as a result of his corona disease. “He’s 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. On December 22nd, the lungs were examined again. According to information from BILD, the examinations were positive. Kimmich can now slowly start preparing for the start of the training.
The German series champion had to play the last eight competitive games of the year without him. The league leaders will start training again on January 2nd after the Christmas break. Five days later, the first Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach will take place (8.30 p.m., in the sports ticker of the WELT). 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 was 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.
