It is not clear if myocarditis is a direct consequence of COVID-19, publishes the newspaper As de Madrid.
2022 is not being the year of Bayern Munich. After losing half the team due to a wave of omicrons in the squad and falling in the first match of the second round in the Bundesliga against Gladbach (1-2), the six-time European champions suffered yet another severe setback. As revealed by his coach Julian Nagelsmann during the press conference before Saturday’s league clash against Cologne away from home, Alphonso Davies is suffering from symptoms of myocarditis which makes him a long-term player.
“In the case of Phonzie, the follow-up that we do with all the players who have had coronavirus has revealed signs of a mild inflammation of the heart muscle. He will not be able to train until further notice and will not be available for the next few weeks. He has to fully recover now. From the ultrasound, it’s not that dramatic, it’s just symptoms. However, you have to pause”, stressed a Nagelsmann that, in this way, he will not be able to count on the best side of his squad for quite some time.
It is not clear if myocarditis is a direct consequence of COVID-19, although, as confirmed by Nagelsmann himself, the probability of this being the case is high. There is no doubt about the danger involved, so the Bundesliga champion will not take any risks, he will separate Davies from all physical activity and put him in the hands of his medical department so that everything ends in a scare. In addition to the Canadian, Nagelsmann will also be without Coman, Goretzka, Stanisic (all injured), Choupo-Moting, Sarr (both in the African Cup of Nations) and Lucas (in quarantine).

The Football Federation of Gabon announced that Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Axel Meyé and Mario Lemina were not available to play this Friday’s game against Ghana. The reason is that according to the medical commission of the African Football Confederation (CAF), the three players, who have just come out of COVID-19, would have heart damage. CAF does not want to take any risk.
