The FC Bayern may have to do without Joshua Kimmich for Friday’s away game in Augsburg
The unvaccinated Bayern professional was absent from training on Thursday morning. “He had contact with a Corona suspect in his private environment,” coach Julian Nagelsmann reported at his press conference. “That’s not confirmed yet either. We are still waiting for the PCR result.” If it turns out positive, Kimmich will have to go into quarantine again.
With regard to Kimmich’s training break, Nagelsmann spoke of a “pure precautionary measure“. He said there was “no prognosis yet” as to whether he would be fit to play in the Bundesliga away match at FC Augsburg on Friday . In the current season, Kimmich has been in the starting eleven on all eleven match days and was only substituted in the 7-0 defeat to VfL Bochum.
No risk with Coman – Davies unlikely to start in Augsburg
Kingsley Coman will definitely be absent on Friday, who according to Nagelsmann is suffering from “minimal muscular complaints “ That, too, is “purely a precautionary measure. If the game had been on Saturday, we would have had him in. We’d rather go to the Champions League with more certainty. “
There, the match at Dynamo Kiev is scheduled for Tuesday . “‘King’ is an extremely fast player, so we have to be a bit careful that nothing happens there,” said Nagelsmann.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Alphonso Davies were not on the training pitch on Thursday because they have just returned from the national team. Both are “back tomorrow for activation and will travel with us to Augsburg as normal”, Nagelsmann reported. However, because Davies has been under heavy pressure recently, “the probability is quite high that he will not start. “
