This week, the German newspaper image informed that the Cameroonian had not yet taken the coronavirus vaccine. Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry, Michael Cuisance and Jamal Musiala also reportedly refused to take the immunizer.
The five athletes, with the exception of Kimmich, were already in isolation, as they recently came into contact with a person who tested positive for the disease. The quintet was embezzled in the Bavarian club’s last two matches.

Without Poplar-Moting, coach Julian Nagelsmann will not be able to count on Lewandowski’s main reserve for the next matches. Bayern returns to the field this Saturday, when they face Arminia Bielefeld, for the 13th round of the german championship.
