Germany´s Klose released from swine flu quarantine

November 14, 2009

Germany striker Miroslav Klose was on Saturday released from a four-day quarantine for swine flu after showing no signs of the virus and is available to play against the Ivory Coast next week.

Both the Bayern Munich star and his wife Sylwia were put under observation last Wednesday after their four-year-old twin sons Noah and Luan were discovered to both be suffering from the H1N1 virus.

Neither Klose, the top scorer at the 2006 World Cup, nor his wife showed signs of the virus and have been allowed to leave quarantine.

Klose, 31, is now free to join the Germany squad to prepare for Wednesday’s friendly against the Ivory Coast while Saturday’s planned Germany-Chile match has been called off after last week’s suicide of national goalkeeper Robert Enke.

Klose is expected to join the Germany squad in Hanover on Sunday for Enke’s memorial service which is expected to be attended by 45,000 fans and colleagues from across German football.
