Varane warns of “micro-concussions” – that’s what a DFB doctor says. Thorsten Dolla, who has looked after national teams at the DFB for years, speaks in the tz.

Varane: “Early in the season I had a lot of headers in a game and in the days afterwards I was unusually tired, including my eyes. I told the coaches who strongly advised me not to play. I had myself tested, which resulted in my failure.”
