Joshua Kimmich made it clear at the time why, for now, he prefers not to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. This decision, in addition to causing a wave of criticism from German society, could also have financial consequences for the Bayern Munich midfielder. Having to remain in quarantine for two weeks as a result of the recent positive of Niklas Süle, his partner both in the national team and in the club, during the Mannschaft rally in Wolfsburg, Bayern could cut Kimmich’s salary.
This is due to a new regulation that came into force on November 1 in Germany. According to this regulation, An employer is not obliged to pay the payroll to any worker who has had to enter quarantine and is not vaccinated by his own decision. All this applies to the case of Kimmich, who made it clear a few weeks ago that he prefers to wait for possible side effects of vaccines before getting immunized.
It remains to be seen if the club, which will surely not be able to count on Kimmich for the game against Augsburg, as soon as the current national team break is over, ends up applying this measure. Especially considering that Kimmich does not seem to be the only unvaccinated player in the ranks of the Munich. In addition to him, German internationals Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala also had to undergo isolation after Süle’s positive, indicating that they too prefer to wait with the Covid puncture.
