Bayern Munich said Sunday that players will return to training on Monday for the first time since the Bundesliga was suspended due to the coronavirus.
Bayern led the
table by four points when the season was halted on March 13.
“The Bayern Munich
first team will return to training in small groups from Monday, April 6,” said
a statement from the club.
“This will be
done in coordination with government policy and the relevant authorities.
“It goes without
saying that all hygiene regulations will be strictly observed.”
German football
league officials had already advised a break in training until Sunday at the
earliest.
Bayern said that
training will be held in private with no members of the public allowed.
“In order to
further slow the spread of the coronavirus, Bayern asks fans to continue to
follow the instructions of the authorities and therefore please do not come to
the Bayern training ground,” added the statement.
More than 1,300
people have died in Germany from the coronavirus.
