Niklas Süle from FC Bayern tests positive for Corona with the German national team.
Immediately, Joshua Kimmich comes back into focus.
Munich / Wolfsburg - He did not test positive for the corona virus at all.
And yet everything in the debate revolves around him again: Joshua Kimmich from FC Bayern.
Niklas Süle's positive Corona finding in the German national team reignited discussions about his teammates in the German Bundesliga record champions in no time at all on Tuesday morning.
As a reminder: Kimmich recently
told
Sky
publicly that he was not vaccinated.
Süle, who is double vaccinated according to the German Football Association (DFB), now apparently had a so-called vaccination breakthrough.
It is said to be symptom-free.
It is one of the many indications that the vaccinations are helping against the insidious virus that will again hit the intensive care units in Germany in November.
Joshua Kimmich: Bayern star is in focus after Niklas Süle's positive corona test
In addition to Süle, four other national players now have to be quarantined: Karim Adeyemi (Red Bull Salzburg), Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnary and Kimmich (all FC Bayern).
The fact that the Swabian is among them immediately fueled the debate on social media.
Which is sometimes managed more or less competently.
The topic also reached the Bavarian State Chancellery.
Schadenfreude is out of place now.

Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) held a press conference there on the Corona situation in the Free State at the same time.
The head of government from Munich was asked what he would recommend to Kimmich.
The Bayern player is certainly not a lateral thinker, said Söder.
But: Should Kimmich get vaccinated, that could have an "enormous impetus and role model effect", for anyone who is still thinking, the CSU boss let the questioner know.
Words that should be interpreted as the umpteenth finger pointer in the direction of the 26-year-old footballer.

“Schadenfreude is out of place now.
I still hope that Joshua Kimmich will decide to have the vaccination.
The vaccination protects against Covid, severe Covid endangers the level of play, "wrote the doctor to a post with a photo of the German national player, which is considered particularly reflective.
