The second division game scheduled for Sunday between Hamburger SV and Erzgebirge Aue will not be played. Because two corona infections were found in Erzgebirge Aue on Saturday, the health department instructed the team to return early from Hamburg and self-quarantine. The club announced it on its website. Aue did not say if the infected were gamers.
“The PCR test performed this morning resulted in two new positive tests,” the released statement said.
“It is very regrettable,” said Aues President Helge Leonhardt: “The present moment is a test for society, the economy and culture and all areas of social life. Erzgebirge had already reported a positive test in the extended environment on Thursday. The players had to train individually on Wednesday and Thursday.
The game should have taken place at 1.30 pm The match has not yet been officially canceled and the German Football League (DFL) has yet to issue a statement. So it’s also unclear when there might be a replacement game.
