But that may be the last update we get on Schumacher’s health, at least for the time being—the reports that on Saturday, Schumacher’s manager said his health will be “closely guarded” among family members and those close to him. From the report:

“Michael’s health is not a public issue, and so we will continue to make no comment in that regard,” [manager] Sabine Kehm said in a statement. “We have to protect his intimate sphere.

Kehm said the Schumacher family was aware that fans were hoping for news of the 47-year-old German’s condition, “but we do this with full commitment to Michael’s guidelines and can only thank people for their understanding.”

In September 2016, the Telegraph reported that a lawyer of Schumacher’s . That’s one of the few updates that has emerged since the accident, as the family has been protective of Schumacher’s status over the past few years—just as Schumacher was during his career. From the Associated Press:

“Michael has always been very protective of his privacy, even during the most successful times of his career. He has always made sure there is a clear and distinct line between his public persona and his private one,” Kehm said.

As a sign of gratitude to the fans, the Associated Press reports that Kehm did announce that the family would launch a “Keep Fighting Initiative” in order to encourage them “to keep fighting and never give up.”
