Revealed: The 'three people allowed to visit Michael Schumacher' - with F1 icon not seen in public since horror skiing accident in 2013

Daily Mail​07-06-2025
The three people that are reportedly permitted to visit Formula One legend Michael Schumacher have been revealed.
Schumacher has remained outside of the public eye since suffering a serious brain injury whilst skiing in the French Alps in 2013.
The legendary driver subsequently spent several months in a medically induced coma after two surgical interventions.
Schumacher is cared for by a team of medical staff and his wife Corinna at their Lake Geneva home.
The relative silence in terms of updates surrounding the seven-time world champion's health has led to a consistent stream of speculation from those whom he was previously close to.
In 2020, Italian TV personality Elisabetta Gregoraci - who was previously married to former Benetton chief Flavio Briatore - claimed to know the size of Schumacher's trusted inner circle.
She said: 'Michael doesn't speak, he communicates with his eyes.
'Only three people can visit him and I know who they are.'
An investigation from The Telegraph has since claimed to reveal the identity of the three individuals in question.
French racing executive Jean Todt, who worked closely alongside Schumacher during his hugely-successful time at Ferrari is said to be one.
Meanwhile Ross Brawn, who led Ferrari to five consecutive constructors titles between 2000 and 2004 is believed to be another.
The final member of the three is said to be Austrian former Formula One driver Gerhard Berger, who has gone from being Schumacher's rival on the track to a close confidant of the family.
Schumacher's family remain very protective of his privacy and it is understood that many of their close friends and relations are even unsure about the state of his health.
The German's seven world drivers' titles stood as a record for more than a decade, equalled only by Lewis Hamilton's triumph in 2020.

Hated Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri refusing to sell club for less than £100m in another huge blow

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY owner Dejphon Chansiri still wants a staggering £100m for the troubled club. The Owls are still in debt and face signing restrictions with a reduced squad. 1 Wednesday missed player pay days for two consecutive months in June and July. Earlier this month, SunSport reported that Chansiri owes more than £4million in football debts — which will have to be paid by whoever buys the club. The extent of the cash woes emerged during takeover bids by several groups in the prior weeks. Earlier this month it was reported that US businessman Tilman Fertitta was in talks to buy the crisis club. Fertitta, 68, is the US ambassador for Italy and is an ally of Donald Trump. The businessman also owns the Houston Rockets in the NBA. Wednesday manager Danny Rohl initially did not show up for pre season amid the club's woes. The 36-year-old eventually returned but has had to work with a threadbare squad. The Owls beat Mansfield 2-0 in a training ground friendly yesterday. Club stalwarts Barry Bannan and Callum Paterson did not feature, despite having trained with the Owls in recent weeks. Both players have been out of contract since June 30. It remains to be seen whether Wednesday's sorry situation will have improved by their Championship opener against Leicester City on August 10.

Luis Diaz set for €75m move to Bayern Munich as Liverpool accept latest bid

Liverpool have agreed a €75 million deal with Bayern Munich for Reds forward Luis Diaz, the PA news agency understands. The agreement comes after the Bundesliga champions were understood to have reopened dialogue regarding a move after having an initial offer of €67.5 million dismissed last week. Advertisement Liverpool are currently on their pre-season tour in Asia, and Diaz was still with the team when they arrived in Tokyo on Sunday, but now has permission to leave. A deal has been agreed between Liverpool and Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz (Mike Egerton/PA) The 28-year-old has two years left on his original contract and it is understood the Reds accepted the bid for what they consider to be his market value. Diaz joined Liverpool in January 2022 and made 50 appearances in all competitions last season – scoring 17 goals – as he helped the team clinch the Premier League title. His time on Merseyside also saw him lift the FA Cup and two Carabao Cups. Advertisement Diaz was left out of Liverpool's 4-2 friendly defeat by AC Milan in Hong Kong on Saturday as speculation surrounding his future continued to mount. Speaking post-match, head coach Arne Slot said: 'In Lucho's (Diaz's) situation, there's a lot of rumours around him lately and I cannot go into that. Diaz won the Premier League with Liverpool last season (Peter Byrne/PA) 'He's training really well with us but we have decided for now not to play him yet. 'I'm used to talking to most of my players on a regular basis. I cannot comment much more about that.' Advertisement Liverpool have been busy in the transfer window so far and have bolstered their attacking options with Florian Wirtz – who made his first start as a false nine on Saturday – and Hugo Ekitike joining the club. There have also been further arrivals on Merseyside, with Jeremie Frimpong, left-back Milos Kerkez and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili all signing and the trio played in the second half of Saturday's friendly.
