The Bundesliga is eager to press ahead with plans to restart the season for the top two levels next weekend, despite Dynamo Dresden’s team being quarantined for two weeks.
The Dresden players were sent home after two tested positive for coronavirus. This means that the second-tier club cannot play its first two restart games: against Hannover on May 17 and against Fürth the following weekend.
However, speaking to ZDF, Bundesliga Chief Executive Christian Seifert said that what happened in Dresden, where local authorities told the club that players should be quarantined, did not mean that the two main divisions could not start on saturday. 16th.
“For the second division, that means right now that as of 81 games, you cannot play two Dynamo Dresden games. We have to see how we deal with that. We are not changing our goal and we are not changing our plans. The goal it’s still ending the season. “
The delay for Dresden means they could enter the fray over the weekend of May 26-27, though that would prompt them to immediately play three games in a week. “It’s hypothetical to talk about what would happen if the same thing happens to other teams,” said Seifert. “Many teams are being tested for the third or fourth time and now we have the special case of Dresden.
“The fact that they have to be quarantined for 14 days does not mean that we should question the continuation of the second division. There is a number [of postponed games] That means it is not possible to end the season, but I cannot say what that number is. That depends on how many teams are affected and how much time remains to finish the season.
Seifert added that there was enough leeway in the schedule for Dresden to play all of its remaining games. – Guardian
