Bayern coach defends unvaccinated Joshua Kimmich: ‘We don’t live here in Alaska’ Football

sport">As a precaution, Kimmich did not train with Bayern on Thursday. Someone from his immediate environment has probably been infected with the corona virus. If confirmed, Kimmich’s quarantine will be final. Then he would have to miss the games against Augsburg and Dinamo Kiev.

sport">Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann reacts quite laconic: “We don’t live here in Alaska, where a moose passes by every 750 kilometers and a human being every 1400 kilometers, but in civilization.”

sport">Nagelsmann: „I think that unvaccinated players understand that they will dupe their teammates and club if they have to quarantine again. The risk for footballers who have not been vaccinated is much greater of missing matches and training.

sport">Nagelsmann is a staunch supporter of vaccination, but he doesn’t want to judge people who don’t want to vaccinate. “I treat them very normally, so they’re not bad people for me.”
