Bayern's Kimmich unvaccinated due to 'personal concerns'

According to German daily Bild, Kimmich is one of five Bayern players who are unvaccinated.

After playing in Saturday's 4-0 win at home to Hoffenheim which kept Bayern top of the Bundesliga, the 26-year-old told Sky he has reservations about getting vaccinated, "especially with regard to the lack of long-term studies". Even though he has so far refused, Kimmich said he is "aware of his responsibility. I stick to the hygiene measures and get tested every two or three days. Everyone should make the decision for themselves."

The German international insists he is not opposed to people getting the vaccination and with numbers of new cases currently rising in Germany, it is "very possible that I will get vaccinated soon. It's simply that I still have some concerns."
