The case of Bayern Munich player Joshua Kimmich, who has chosen not to be vaccinated for "personal reasons", is provoking a heated debate in Germany, facing a new wave of the Covid-19 epidemic.
The German international (64 caps), 26, was placed in isolation for a second time on Friday due to new exposure to Covid-19.
He had just come out of quarantine on Tuesday after coming into contact with teammate Niklas Süle, who tested positive last week.
