DBasia.news – Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Axel Witsel has received the attention of his father, Thierry Witsel ahead of the launch of the Bundesliga.
Thierry Witsel was deeply worried about Axel Witsel. He feared that his son could be infected with the Corona Virus as the German League was to resume. According to him, the possibility remains open even though the Deutscher Fussball League (DFL) has made strict regulations related to health and hygiene.
“As a father, the current situation is truly worrying. The German League has decided to finish the competition. So, every time Axel says he has taken a test, there is always fear whether he is infected with the Corona Virus or not, “said Thierry Witsel, as quoted by Het Laatste Nieuws.
Furthermore, Thierry revealed, “You cannot play football without physical contact. So, automatically there is a risk (of being infected). His teammates might also be infected by the virus. “
The man who is now a politician in Belgium admitted he was rather relieved that Axel Witsel would not play in the first week of the German League after a delay due to the Corona Virus pandemic. As told by Borussia Dortmund coach, Lucien Favre, the midfielder had to be sidelined through injury so that he would certainly not play in the match against FC Schalke 04.
For Thierry Witsel, that’s good news. The reason is, the risk of his son being infected with Corona Virus decreases as he will not make physical contact with opposing players whose health condition is unknown.
The Borussia Dortmund v FC Schalke 04 match became one of the most exciting matches in the German League. Axel Witsel’s club has a pretty tough challenge as they have never won the last two Derbi Valley Derbi matches.
