A few hours before the Club World Cup final, it was announced that Thomas Müller will not be able to play against Tigres because he was positive for covid-19
Bayern will not be able to count on Thomas Müller in the final of the Club World Cup against the Tigers today, due to a positive coronavirus, according to information from the German press which assures that there will soon be a confirmation from FIFA.
It seems that Müller has no symptoms and is feeling well.
The midfielder is considered one of Bayern’s key players and this season he played 28 of 29 official games in which he scored 12 goals and provided 16 assists.
Müller is also a kind of messenger of coach Hansi Flick on the field, he constantly gives instructions to his teammates and usually leads the high pressure to recover the ball.
Among the candidates who will replace him today are Jamal Musiala, Corentin Tolisso and Leroy Sané.
According to the magazine “Sporty image“Müller passed three tests. The first was positive, the second negative and the third was positive again.
The rest of the Bayern players’ tests came back negative.
The positives of Javi Martínez and Leon Goretzka, who did not travel to Qatar, are some time ago, so it is unlikely to spread on this route.
