Klose in quarantine over swine flu

Klose in quarantine over swine flu Munich - Bayern Munich striker Miroslav Klose and his family are under quarantine after his twin sons were diagnosed with swine flu, his club and the German football federation DFB said Thursday.

Klose did not join the German national team squad in Bonn ahead of the scheduled match against Chile on Saturday and it was unclear whether he would be able to play next Wednesday against Ivory Coast.

The match in Cologne against the South Americans was called off following the death of goalkeeper Robert Enke.

"We will have to wait to see how it develops. (Coach) Joachim Loew will be in touch with Miroslav Klose to see if he can play against Ivory Coast," Bayern media director Markus Hoerwick said. (dpa)
