By AFPBERLIN: Five players from Germany's national football squad are in quarantine after one of them tested positive for coronavirus, the German federation (DFB) said Tuesday. The infected player is fully vaccinated and currently asymptomatic, said the DFB, without naming him. Four other players were meanwhile asked to isolate because they are close contacts of the infected individual, even though they have tested negative, the DFB said. It also puts the spotlight again on Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich, with Bild asking what this means for the unvaccinated player. Kimmich appears to be in the minority as more than 90 percent of footballers and backroom staff in Germany's top two leagues are vaccinated, according to figures released last month by the German Football League (DFL).
