Keen football fan Schumacher, who is a supporter of Köln and played for his local side FC Echichens close to his home in Switzerland before his fall in the Alps on December 29, is "communicating" with his family and has been moved from Grenoble to the University Hospital of the Canton of Vaud, in Lausanne. The facility is about 20 miles from Schumacher's home, a mansion worth £50 million on the shores of Lake Geneva.
