It was stated that a poisonous snake was found in the training camp of the German team in America.
The captain of the German national football team, Joshua Kimmisch, revealed that a poisonous snake was found at the team’s training center based in the United States, and therefore the players and coaching staff are taking special precautions.
Kimmish spoke to the press in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and said that the team was informed that the snake was poisonous and that if it bit they should go to the hospital immediately.
He said that although the risk of death from snake bites is generally low, the situation is still dangerous.
According to German media reports, the snake that was found is likely to be a type of ‘copper snake’ that is common in the area and its venom may require immediate medical attention.
The German Football Association has not made any changes to team routines following the incident, but has advised players to be cautious.
On the other hand, the Austrian team banned the use of bicycles by the players in their training camp due to the danger of snakes.
