Overview
- Schumacher was injured on Saturday during Stefan Raab’s televised celebrity jet ski event when he and Raab crashed at a buoy and tumbled into the water.
- On-site medics reduced his shoulder at the regatta course and later X-ray and MRI scans at BG Klinikum Duisburg revealed a dislocation with a small piece of bone detached.
- Doctors have scheduled a minor operation to address the avulsed bone fragment and treat the shoulder dislocation.
- Schumacher posted a video on Instagram thanking the rescue team and hospital staff and said he expects to fulfil his Sky Germany broadcasting duties at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza after the procedure.
- A former six-time Grand Prix winner who had reached the event’s Speed Duel final, Schumacher’s injury shows the swift medical response needed for live celebrity sporting events and will be followed closely by his broadcaster and fans.
