Over 600,000 infected, 2,500 deaths from COVID-19 in just one day; the situation in Josh Sargent’s homeland is catastrophic. The striker has therefore kept in daily contact with his family. The situation is particularly difficult for his sister, who is working as a nurse in St. Louis. “I’m worried about my family but they’re all fine at the moment,” said Sargent, adding, “I’m proud of my sister and the work that she’s doing.”

The 20-year-old has kept in constant contact with the USA from Bremen via Facetime. However, he is less concerned about living in isolation as he is about the rapid spread of the virus throughout the globe. “I’m worried about the world; it’s not just a difficult time for people in the USA,” Sargent explains. Sargent also has friends living in New York; currently the world’s largest hotspot for the virus. “As far as I know everyone is fine and they’re all staying safe.”

Just as he is. In addition to the training sessions that are taking place in small groups, he is spending his time just as many people around the world are currently doing: relaxing and watching Netflix. However, there is one thing that is simply out of the question for him: following in the footsteps of teammates Bartels, Bittencourt and Kapino and cutting his own hair. “I definitely don’t plan on doing it,” Sargent made clear, having previous experience in the area, “My girlfriend tried to do it once and it was a disaster.”
