Defender of the Munich team Tobias Rau may have to miss the European Football Championship in Portugal due to injury and illness.

Yesterday evening, this young 22-year-old player was hospitalized late due to an unknown viral infection, where he will have to stay at least until the end of the weekend to determine the nature of the illness.

Rau likely caught the virus last week in Qatar, where he was with his club playing friendly matches. During the match, he was substituted after the first half, and since then he started to complain of weakness.

Currently, the player is also injured. Since the end of the winter break, due to a heavily strained muscle during training, the player has only represented his club once.

Whether the player will play in Portugal will be clarified later, but all this makes his chances quite slim. Especially since the young player Philip Lahm is also aiming for his position as left-back in the national team.
