There is still a lot to do at Bayern Munich.
After the new quarantine alarm, the next Corona chapter now follows.
Munich - This topic will keep Bayern Munich busy for months!
Currently, not a week goes by without corona chaos at the record champions.
It was foreseeable that with the increasing numbers one day even professional soccer players would be infected and therefore fail.
This fate is currently also affecting a number of other clubs.
But: High achievers like Joshua Kimmich are also missing from FCB at the moment - they are not infected at all.
The national player has to be in quarantine for the second time because he was in direct contact with a person who tested positive for Covid-19.
Unvaccinated people therefore have to isolate themselves for seven days and then submit a negative test in order to be allowed to leave the house again.
Such is the current situation in Germany.
For Bayern, this means: One of the most important players is missing again because he has not yet been vaccinated.
With Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Michael Cuisance, four other players are currently in quarantine - presumably for the same reason as Kimmich.
FC Bayern Munich: vaccination chaos - players drop out due to quarantine
The Bayern bosses are naturally upset because: The players can neither train nor play. The annoyance is especially big when Munich also loses. This happened on Friday evening in Augsburg, when Kimmich representative Marcel Sabitzer made a mistake, which ultimately resulted in a goal. Within the team, the topic is getting bigger and bigger, because slowly you see the season goals in danger because of the quarantine issue. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic once again appealed to his players to get vaccinated before the 1: 2 bankruptcy in Bavarian Swabia.
There was already a clear signal from the boardroom to the players who are currently unable to participate.
As the
Bild
reported
on Sunday
, wage cuts are to follow.
The announcement of the leadership around CEO Oliver Kahn: All players who have to be in quarantine because of a missing corona vaccination should no longer be paid during this time.

FC Bayern Munich: Players are apparently considering legal steps
On Thursday, the stars are said to have been informed that their salary from the previous week of quarantine will be retrospectively deducted.
For Kimmich, with an estimated annual salary of around 20 million euros, that would be a loss of around 768,000 euros.
“Of course he won't like that,” said the former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge at “Sky90”.
Gnabry, Musiala, Choupo-Moting and Cuisance are now threatened with similar losses.
The actors are said to have been "very surprised" by the measure.
According to information from
Bayerischer Rundfunk
, “individual players even reserve the right to take legal action”.
Will there be a mega-row at Bayern?
The club's move should meet with approval from the rest of the team.
Probably also with Julian Nagelsmann, who is noticeably annoying the annoying Corona issue.
One thing is certain: In the Champions League, the coach will have to do without the quintet on Tuesday.
