Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann spoke today, Friday, that Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich have contracted the Corona virus, and their chances of participating in the German “Classic” against Borussia Dortmund.
“His (Müller) sample came negative after he underwent a corona test, but he still has some cold symptoms, so he will not play,” Nagelsmann said in press statements prior to tomorrow’s match against Dortmund.
????️ @J__Nagelsmann on Kimmich and @esmuellert_: “Both have been able to test negative. Thomas still has some cold symptoms, so he won’t play. With Joshua, we will wait and see how he feels after training and will then decide whether it makes sense for him to travel.”#BVBFCB pic.twitter.com/vUxUiWRZbS

Nagelsmann confirmed that Kimmish’s sample was also negative, but “we will wait and see his condition after the exercise and decide whether we will allow him to travel with us or not.”
Regarding the French winger, Kingsley Coman, Nagelsmann confirmed that he “has passed all the fitness tests and returned to training. He will not be an essential option for tomorrow’s match, but he can certainly participate as an alternative.”
It is noteworthy that Bayern Munich is equal with Borussia Dortmund in the number of points in the German League, with 15 points each, as Bayern is in third place, and Dortmund in fourth place.
????️ @J__Nagelsmann on Coman: “He is healthy, has passed all our fitness tests and is back in team training. He’s not an option for the starting XI yet, but he could definitely come off the bench. He’s ready and could feature for 30, 40 minutes.” #BVBFCB pic.twitter.com/c7J6RjQu6g
