With covid-19, Bayern coach will not lead the team in the next round of the German Cup

This Tuesday, the coach of Bayern Munchen, Julian Nagelsmann, gave a press conference at a distance. After testing positive for covid-19, the coach stated that he will not lead the team on Wednesday, for the German Cup.

“Thanks, I’m feeling fine. Everything is alright. Unfortunately, I did not travel to Gladbach because I am still in isolation at home. I did a new test yesterday and I’m not yet cleared to leave here”, he said.

The 34-year-old commander tested positive for the new coronavirus before the rout on the Benfica, for 4 to 0, last Wednesday. He was also left out of the victory over Hoffenheim on Saturday. In both cases, assistant Dino Toppmoller was on the edge of the lawn.

Bayern enters the field on Wednesday, at 15:45 (GMT), when they face Borussia Monchengladbach away from home. The single match is valid for the 16th of the final of the German Cup. Whoever wins, advances to the round of 16 of the competition.
