Munich (dpa) – The goalkeeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, who was loaned to FC Sunderland by FC Bayern Munich, has made allegations against the English club after a corona infection.
“When I came back after seven days of quarantine, it went straight back into the goal – although the quick test was still slightly positive. I had to play with Corona,” said the 23-year-old in an interview with “Bild”. “I wasn’t doing well physically, but the club wanted me to be tougher,” said Hoffmann. He was afraid of getting myocarditis like Bayern professional Alphonso Davies or Rune Jarstein from Hertha BSC.
According to the information, Hoffmann finally flew to Munich for investigations in February and then did not play any more games for the third division team, where he was previously a regular goalkeeper. His loan contract in Sunderland expires, his contract with FC Bayern runs until the summer of 2023. Hoffmann apparently wants to join a second division club in Germany and is in talks with Eintracht Braunschweig, among others. “I want to establish myself as a regular goalkeeper in this league next season. My big goal is to get promoted to the first Bundesliga,” he said.
