Virus-hit Bayern Munich want game postponed

With eight coronavirus cases within their ranks, Bayern Munich want their 2021/2022 Bundesliga restart game on Friday postponed, according to opponents Borussia Möchengladbach.

“Bayern Munich will like to scrap it [the match],” Gladbach sports director Max Eberl said.

Eberl said he has talked with Bayern Munich board member for sports, Hasan Salihamidzic, and the German Football League (DFL) which has the final saying.

Bayern Munich have not said whether they are asking for the game to be cancelled.

They were training with only 10 healthy outfield players on Wednesday.

According to coronavirus rules in the DFL, a team must have 15 players, including a goalkeeper, available for a match.
