German Chancellor Scholz Tweets Picture of Himself With Black Eye Patch After Jogging Accident

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday tweeted a pirate-style picture of himself with a black eye patch and dark-red bruises on the right side of his face the result of a jogging accident on the weekend.

Am excited to see the memes," the chancellor wrote in the caption.

To deflect any possible worries about his health, on the photo, which appears to have been taken at the chancellery, Scholz smiled slightly and also wrote: Thanks for the well wishes, it looks worse than it is!

Scholz fell while jogging on Saturday and sustained bruises to his face, prompting him to cancel some appointments this weekend, the government said.
