The TSV 1860 Munich thus starts on May 31 with a real cracker in the ascent battle against MSV Duisburg. 

Magdeburg and Hallesche FC are not allowed to hold team training or competitions until May 27th due to official regulations. In Thuringia, this applies to Jena until June 5. According to the “Bild” report, the DFB has scheduled a home game for the bottom of the table on May 31. Jena might then have to do this in another state.

DFB Cup semi-final: date set for FC Bayern against Frankfurt - politics gives Go

Update from May 19, 3:29 p.m .: After the restart in the Bundesliga, there is nothing standing  in the way of the semi-finals in the DFB Cup between FC Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt from a political point of view.

"Therefore, we will adjust our Bavarian regulation accordingly." He added that in addition to the cup game, games from the 3rd league and the women's Bundesliga can then be played again in the Free State.

There is still no nationwide political permission for these competitions. How and when exactly is played is up to the DFB. Herrmann also announced that the basketball Bundesliga can play again.

Next corona alarm: three professionals in quarantine - another setback for DFB

Update from May 19, 1:05 p.m .: The first Bundesliga weekend after the restart was successful. The problems were manageable, but: The Monday game was a huge problem - streaming provider Amazon Prime failed at its premiere.

Update from May 18, 1:08 p.m .: There were still one or two  stumbling blocks, but all in all the restart of the Bundesliga worked well at the weekend. Except for the game between Hannover 96 and Dynamo Dresden (cancellation due to Corona quarantine in the Saxons), all games could be played as planned. Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen will meet on Monday evening. 

And otherwise? How does the third league continue, for example ? The first plans for a restart on May 26 have already been put on hold. And it seems like the ball won't roll that fast either. Because: Even before the planned resumption of play, a positive corona test at Chemnitzer FC throws the plans back. 

Chemnitz FC: Positive Corona test - 3rd league still on hold

The CFC's new hygiene officer , Jörg-Uwe Fischer , recently carried out 40 tests. The virus was detected in a professional in the second series of tests carried out on Saturday .

The player in question immediately went into a 14-day domestic quarantine, said a club spokesman. In addition, two other actors in quarantine , who had been tested negative, but were in contact with the positive player. All three are symptom-free. At the first test on Thursday,  all players had been negative

A #ChemnitzerFC player tested positive for Covid-19.

"We see how quickly the situation can change," said  CFC sports director Armin Causevic  in a club announcement. “The close-meshed samples therefore fulfill their intended purpose. Thanks to the regular tests, we are very quickly able to isolate those affected from the team, to protect the other players, coaches and coaches as best we can and to continue to concentrate on preparing for the possible continuation of the current season, ”explained Causevic . After checking and assessing the health department, the CFC can start team training on Tuesday as planned.

This means that the DFB , which was recently sharply criticized by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, is getting more and more into trouble when it comes to scheduling. When the season can continue is still unclear. More and more are now arguing for an extension of the season until July.

When are fans allowed back in the stadium? Doctors give hope with an idea that has so far been little discussed

Update from May 16, 11.48 a.m .:  If the Bundesliga starts again in a few hours , spectators will be missing from the stadium. As is known, the resumption of gaming operations only takes the form of ghost games . But how long do football fans have to wait to visit the stadium? A doctor now came up with positive news. 

The pharmacologist and sports medicine specialist Fritz Sörgel believes that games with a small number of viewers will soon be possible. "I see the possibility of gradual adjustment," he said in an interview with the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger" (Saturday edition). 

Sörgel linked his ideas to the comparison with the situation in furniture stores: “I'm not exactly sure how realistic it is, but if you could say that people's access to the stadium can be regulated like customer access to Ikea, and it would be possible to  keep the necessary distances in the  stadium , then I honestly do not know what would be wrong with admitting games in front of a reduced audience. ”The  DFL  has not heard such considerations so far.

Bundesliga start after Corona: role backwards in the mask requirement 

Update of May 15, 5.50 p.m .:  The DFL lifted the mask requirement for coaches one day before the first ghost games in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga . “Mouth and nose protection would significantly limit their work as a trainer - including giving instructions and using facial expressions and gestures. A continuous safeguard the spacing during the game, we consider as a protective measure for the coaches therefore be sufficient, "said director Ansgar Slew to Bild.de . "For all other people on the substitute bench, the task force provides for both measures - distance and mouth-nose protection."

Meanwhile, Werder Bremen sent a professional into domestic quarantine for two weeks before restarting the Bundesliga . The player himself has so far always been tested negative for the corona virus, but at the beginning of the week there had been a positive case in his personal environment.

Accordingly, there would have been "violent debates" in today's video conference. The clubs are now said to have agreed to postpone the decision on the application until next week.

The application reads as follows: "Should the complete end of the season become impossible, the basic principle of a sporting promotion and relegation between the Bundesliga and the 2nd Bundesliga and between the 2nd Bundesliga and the 3rd division should  be maintained while maintaining the number of 18 clubs are held; this should apply to the relationship between the 2nd Bundesliga and the 3rd League, even if the 3rd League has completed the season to a comparable extent to the 2nd Bundesliga. "

"Everything has to be done so that the consequences of even an emergency solution are not distributed unilaterally," Paderborn's managing director Fabian Wohlgemuth is quoted as saying.

The next major Bundesliga decision is imminent: who will relegate if the season is canceled?

First report from May 12, 2020:

Munich - The wait is over, the Bundesliga * will continue with ghost games * next weekend. The DFL is now working on the last details before continuing, at the next general meeting of the league it will be decided what happens if the season should suddenly be stopped. 

As the picture reports, the league wants to try to convince as many teams as possible of its concept. For this, she wants to present two different papers separately. First, the teams should agree that the league can be ended in June or July at the latest

Bundesliga: relegated teams should be forced

Secondly, it should be confirmed that the current table is also valid in the event of a season break . Means: If the season is canceled after the 29th matchday and Bremen and Paderborn are still in the relegation zone, the two clubs would definitely relegate. 

This decision is intended to prevent teams that can no longer prevent relegation at a certain point in time from provoking a dropout in the league without having any sporting consequences. 

Bundesliga: No increase to 20 teams

In summary, the league * will definitely have two relegated teams and a German champion . There will be no increase to 20 teams. So the DFL plans are clear. It remains to be seen whether the 36 clubs will move on Thursday. The parties should not agree on what will happen to the season continuation. 

After the continuation of the Bundesliga, the next decision is expected - it is about a high billion dollar *. The Premier League * is now clear - so there is now a date on which the league could possibly continue. The restart of the Bundesliga has been positively received by experts - only one club is causing discord.
