Overview
- The 64-year-old appeared in Sky’s Munich studio with his right arm in a sling two days after an AC joint operation on his shoulder.
- Matthäus said he is on pain medication and that two cracked ribs hurt more than the operated shoulder.
- He is working from the studio rather than attending the evening match between Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund in person.
- The injuries followed a fall on his final ski run on an icy, uneven piste when his skis caught and he went down on his right side.
- Because of the surgery, he also canceled a planned RTL appearance for AS Roma vs. VfB Stuttgart earlier in the week.
