Hans-Dieter Flick confirmed a report by "TZ" on Friday afternoon, according to which he had taken legal action against an AfD politician.

The reason is a statement by the Bayern trainer ("You can no longer hear the so-called experts"), which the member of the Bundestag used to create a mood on social media.

According to the report, the politician is Johannes Huber.

Flick wants to obtain an injunction by means of an injunction.

“I handed this over to a lawyer.

I want to distance myself clearly and not be associated with this party.

That's not my belief, it's not my values.

That is why I am doing everything I can to counter it, ”said Flick at a press conference.

Huber had used a statement by Flick that the trainer had made in the direction of the SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach.

At the press conference before the Bundesliga match against Arminia Bielefeld (3: 3) just under a week ago, Flick said: "You can no longer hear the so-called experts." It was about the Corona issue.

Flick spoke to Lauterbach during the week.

“It was a very good conversation, very interesting.

I felt very comfortable, it was a very good atmosphere.

Everyone could take something with them, ”said Flick on Friday.

The post in question is no longer online.

The dispute with the AfD was and is not Flick's only concern.

On Friday morning he called his player Corentin Tolisso to wish him all the best for his operation.

Tolisso seriously injured

The French midfielder was operated on at noon after tearing a tendon in his left thigh when he was shot on Thursday.

His screams of pain could be clearly heard on the training grounds on Säbener Strasse.

“We were all shocked.

His teammates are sad, we all suffer very much for him.

It's a shame.

If you look at its history, it's almost a tragedy, ”said Flick.

Tolisso was seriously injured several times in the past few years.

The most serious injury was a cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus tear in September 2018. According to Flick, the 24-year-old world champion will be out for at least three months this time.

“There are fewer and fewer.

This is a challenge for all of us, ”said the coach with a view to the tense personnel situation before the top Bundesliga game at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday (3:30 pm, Sky).

Boateng probably back in the squad

Jérôme Boateng, Javi Martinez and Leon Goretzka, who were missing recently, are expected to be back in the squad.

After Thomas Müller, who Flick also spoke to on Friday, Benjamin Pavard also tested positive for the corona virus.

Both players are in quarantine.

In the past two weeks there have been four corona cases in the Bayern team, and offensive star Serge Gnabry is injured.

"There is more testing, that makes a lot of sense," said Flick about the club's reaction to the Corona cases in the team: "We have a good hygiene concept and make sure that we adhere to it even more and more conscientiously with wearing the mask and keeping the distance.

I think we're doing pretty well. "
