👀 German star reveals: why he trains in long sleeves at 35°C

We don’t see that every day. At VfB Stuttgart’s training camp in Grassau on Lake Chiemsee, the pros trained in 35-degree heat under the sun.

So naturally, almost everyone wore a short-sleeved jersey or a tank top. Only one didn’t: Germany striker Deniz Undav opted for a long-sleeved shirt.

It wasn’t for style reasons. He told Sky why, despite the high temperatures, he preferred sweating in long sleeves rather than choosing a different shirt.

Undav said he developed an allergy from too much sun while on vacation. Not on his face, but on his arms. “That’s why I said, come on, I’ll keep it on, then I can save myself a trip to the doctor,” the 30-year-old explained.

The long-sleeved shirt is therefore meant to make sure the sun allergy doesn’t get the chance to cause even more damage.
