FC Bayern: Joshua Kimmich stunned because of Ukraine

The war pictures from Ukraine also take soccer international Joshua Kimmich emotional.

"I'm stunned, do not find words. That it could be war in Europe was outside my imagination," said the professional of FC Bayern Munich in the stadium booklet in front of the international match on Saturday (20:45 / ZDF) in Sinsheim against Israel, which he is very likely to miss because of the upcoming birth of his third child.

"Every day, I hope for news that make hope. The suffering of so many civilians, so many children, above all, is not to endure," Kimmich added: "You realize how unimportant everything is how small your own worries are is bad."

For socio-political reasons, his anticipation of the desert World Cup in Qatar (21 November to 18 December) is also attenuated.

"You can not overlook that the human rights situation in Qatar is problematic," said the 27-year-old.

He still holds a boycott "for a false way". Rather, the DFB team and the entire football world before and during the tournament "in the duty to point to the maladministration".
