German magazine claims Schumacher can walk again with help of a carer

German magazine reported yesterday that stricken F1 racing legend Michael Schumacher is now able to take 'tentative' steps with the aid of a carer and has regained slight movement in one arm. The front page in glossy magazine Bunte – headlined 'He can move again' – was published days before the second anniversary of his devastating ski accident in the French Alps in 2013.


But his management has emphatically denied the reports. His long-term manager, Sabine Kehm, said:

'Unfortunately, we are forced by a recent press report to clarify that the assertion that Michael could move again is not true. Such speculation is irresponsible, because given the seriousness of his injuries, his privacy is very important for Michael.

'Unfortunately they also give false hopes to many involved people.'

Bunte says it is standing by its story and has no intention of removing from its newsstands.

The report has an unnamed confidante of his telling the magazine: 'Michael is very thin. But he can once again walk a little with the help of his therapists'.
