Lothar Matthäus Returns to Sky Studio Two Days After Shoulder Surgery

He skips the Union–Dortmund stadium appearance due to cracked ribs.

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.
