A radical decision. Bayern Munich have decided to lower the salaries of players not vaccinated against Covid-19 and placed in quarantine, according to reports from the German weekly Bild am Sonntag.
The move comes as Joshua Kimmich was placed in solitary confinement for a second time on Friday after coming into contact with those infected. The Germany international was released from quarantine on Tuesday after coming into contact with teammate Niklas Süle, who tested positive last week.
The case of Kimmich, who had announced not to be vaccinated for "personal reasons", had sparked a heated debate in Germany, which is currently facing a new wave of positive cases and while the percentage of people vaccinated is less than 70%.
But Joshua Kimmich would not be the only one affected by this measure introduced by Bayern Munich. Four of his teammates have reportedly received zero doses of the vaccine and would see their wages cut if they were to be placed in solitary confinement. They are said to be German internationals Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala, former PSG striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and French OM player Michael Cuisance, according to Bild.
