""It was the last run on the last day of my vacation," Lothar recounted (Bild via Tz). "The slope was icy and bumpy. I was already looking forward to lunch at the mountain hut - then I suddenly fell on my right side. I didn't catch a bump properly, and my skis caught an edge. The problem was the ice; if there had been powder snow, nothing would probably have happened.""
"The 64-year-old former player, fresh off playing in the Legends Cup, was with his partner Theresa during that day and will undergo surgery. Famed Bayern club doctor Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt was the first one to examine him before referring him to a shoulder specialist."
"This wouldn't be the first time that an unfortunate incident in the Alps has befallen someone linked with Bayern. Back in December 2022, Manuel Neuer injured his leg while skiing which ruled him out for that season; Yann Sommer was signed as an emergency backup. Three months later, Julian Nagelsmann was out on holiday and went skiing...only to find out that Bayern had sacked him."
Lothar Matthäus injured himself while skiing on the last run of his vacation after hitting icy, bumpy conditions and falling onto his right side when his skis caught an edge. The 64-year-old, recently active in the Legends Cup and accompanied by his partner Theresa, will undergo surgery. Bayern club doctor Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt initially examined him and referred him to a shoulder specialist. The incident continues a pattern of Bayern-associated ski mishaps, including Manuel Neuer's December 2022 leg injury and Julian Nagelsmann's holiday ski episode that coincided with his dismissal.
