Plans for the top two tiers of German football to return next weekend remain in place says the league’s CEO, despite the entire squad of Bundesliga 2 club Dynamo Dresden being quarantined for the next two weeks.
Dresden’s playing staff was sent home and told to remain in self-isolation after two members of the squad tested positive for coronavirus, meaning that the club are not in a position to play their fixture against Hannover on May 17 and against Furth a week after that.
This measure was taken not on the basis of advice from German football chiefs, but from local authorities tasked with mitigating the spread of the outbreak and Christian Seifert, the Bundesliga chief executive, says that the Dresden situation doesn’t impact their plans to resume play.
“For the second division that means at the moment that from 81 games, two Dynamo Dresden games can’t be played,” Seifert said to German media. (Text and photo courtesy RT)
