There should be more news about Nagelsmann's condition no later than Friday, when the matchday press conference is due.
After their return from Lisbon, Munich are challenged to play in the Bundesliga again, on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. the home game against 1899 Hoffenheim is on the program - one of Nagelsmann's ex-clubs.
After Nagelsmann's positive test, the question naturally arises: does it also affect FC Bayern players?
The trainer traveled with the team, only after tests have been evaluated can further corona cases from the league leaders be ruled out.

Experience from the Bundesliga shows that after a first infection, which Nagelsmann must obviously have because he also shows symptoms, there can be many more.
The most recent example is VfB Stuttgart.
Waldemar Anton and Erik Thommy were initially infected, followed by Florian Müller and Roberto Massimo.
In addition, there was confusion about an apparently "false positive" test by Orel Mangala.
All in all, VfB has been through a real corona chaos in the past few weeks.
It could now threaten the FCB.
