German Chancellor Olaf Scholz shares picture with eyepatch and bruising after jogging incident

The 65-year-old politician fell while jogging in his hometown of Potsdam on Saturday and was forced to cancel appointments over the weekend.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz shared an image of himself wearing a black eyepatch on Monday on social media, the result of a jogging accident over the weekend.

"I look forward to the memes," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Thanks for the well wishes, looks worse than it is!" he added.

The 65-year-old chancellor's post was met with a number of reactions, as he predicted, going from well wishes to memes - most of which feature Scholz as a pirate.

He joined the black eye club!

Why is it mostly the left eye "Eye of Horus" and in rare cases the right eye "Eye of Ra" that gets hurt?
