Despite injury, soccer star Joshua Kimmich honored the Auer Bayern fan club.
During his visit he answered all questions - even the unpleasant ones.
Au/Hallertau
– It worked on the second attempt, but in the truest sense of the word it was a struggle.
Professional Joshua Kimmich paid his respects to the Bayern fan club Au on Sunday after the originally planned visit to the Christmas party was canceled due to snow chaos in December.
However, the professional came with his arm in a sling and was therefore unable to sign autographs.
“That’s really no excuse,” joked Joshua Kimmich, looking at the more than 200 guests in the Auer Stockschützenhalle.
The prominent guest injured his shoulder in the game against Union Berlin and has to keep the arm still, which he would otherwise use to sign autographs.
That's why there were only souvenir photos, but the fan club chairman Andreas Gruber was still relieved that the visit worked this time: "When he got injured, I really started sweating."

People were asked about their favorite car (“I have to say Audi”), their visits to McDonalds (“Luckily I have a wife who can cook”) and their consumption of white sausage (“Too rare”).
The funniest question to the father of four came from an adult fan: “What’s worse?”
A defeat with Bayern - or if all four children have gastrointestinal problems at the same time?" The footballer reported that he and his wife were both sick in December: "When you are weak yourself and have four children - your nerves are on edge. “
