Niklas Süle tested positive for the corona virus.
Or not?
Allegedly, his test is also said to have been false positive - there is a big stir.
On Monday it was announced that
Niklas Süle
from FC Bayern Munich * had been infected with the corona virus.
The media are now reporting: It was again a false positive test - as with
Serge Gnabry
.
It is still unclear whether Süle can play against Dortmund.
Update from November 5, 10:10 p.m.:
Has FC Bayern again had a
"false positive"
corona finding?
As the association announced yesterday evening, a second Covid-19 test at
Niklas Süle brought
a negative result.
Young
striker Joshua Zirkzee
, on the other hand, has tested positive for Corona.
FC Bayern: Doubts about Süle's positive corona test - youngster infected with virus
On Monday, the record champions had confirmed tz information that Süle had
tested positive
for the corona virus.
That's why the central defender also missed the Champions League game at FC Salzburg (6-2).
What the
possibly
false positive result
for Munich’s top Bundesliga match on Saturday at Borussia Dortmund means is still open.
The FCB only announced that Süle was still in quarantine.
This also applies to Zirkzee, who according to the club is "doing well".
A case comparable to Süle at Bayern gives hope that
the defender will
return soon
.
Serge Gnabry (25) initially tested positive for Corona on October 20, and five days later he was able to leave the quarantine at home.
Four PCR and two antigen tests showed a negative result.
Gnabry
was allowed to train and play with the team again immediately.
But why are there false positive results at all?
The Munich sports
doctor
and internist
Dr.
Karlheinz Zeilberger
explained in the tz that the corona tests are
never one hundred percent
accurate.
"You will always fail to recognize infected people and have positive results that are incorrect," he said.
FC Bayern Munich: Another corona alarm at FC Bayern!
Süles test false positive?
Update from November 5, 7.30 p.m.:
On Thursday
lunchtime
,
some media reported, citing
sports buzzer
, that
Niklas Süle's
positive corona test
should have been a false-positive result (see update from 1.20 p.m.).
This happened about two weeks ago when Süle's national team colleague
Serge Gnabry
tested
.
Now FC Bayern reported to the defender about the current status.
"A second test with Niklas Süle, 25, who had also tested positive, brought a
negative result,
" writes the association on its homepage.
Nevertheless, the defender is still in quarantine, he is fine.
With Bayern's confirmation of the second
negative test
, the report about another false-positive test seems to be true.
However, Bayern found a positive corona test in youngster Joshua Zirkzee.
Zirkzee tested positive for coronavirus - Süle's second test negative.

FC Bayern Munich: Corona madness again at FC Bayern!
Fuss about Niklas Süle
Update from November 5, 1:20 p.m .:
That doesn't exist!
Niklas Süle's
corona test
is said to have been false positive.
The
sports buzzer
reports

So Süle had apparently not been infected with the corona virus at all.
Serge Gnabry
suffered the same fate two weeks ago - he too tested false positive and was allowed to play again about a week later.
According to the report, Süle tested negative in "at least one" additional test.
Süle already missed the
Champions League game
against
Salzburg
.
He
could also fail
in the top game against
BVB
- despite the negative test.
FC Bayern did not initially comment on this.

The central defender, who
fought
his way
back into the starting line-up
after his
cruciate ligament rupture
in October 2019, will now have to
deal
with the next setback.
Bayern coach * Hansi Flick also does
n't have too many options in central defense
after
his defensive man's
corona infection
.
FC Bayern Munich: Niklas Süle infected with corona virus - Flick now has to rebuild in Salzburg
"There have been quite a few cases in the professional leagues, now we've got a player," said coach
Hansi Flick
.
Before the important group game at Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League *, in which Niklas Süle will definitely be missing, he will probably rely on Jerome Boateng and David Alaba.
The third star central defender
Lucas Hernandez
will play on the left due to the injury to Alphonso Davies *.
Only last week did a
falsely
positive
corona test at Serge Gnabry cause a sensation.
When he made his comeback at the Bundesliga match in Cologne, the national team immediately reported back with a
goal
in a 2-1 win.
However, Niklas Süle actually seems to be infected, which is why he is
threatened
with a longer
quarantine
