Bayern Munich asked to postpone their game this Friday due to cases of coronavirus in the squad

The coronavirus outbreak is affecting Bayern Munich, which registers eight infected players in the run-up to this Friday’s game against Borussia Mönchengladbach for the Bundesliga. For that reason, the ‘Bavarians’ have requested the postponement of the match.

“Bayern would like to postpone the game but that is something for the Bundesliga to decide”, Said this Wednesday the sports director of the ‘Gladbach’, Max Eberl, after having spoken with his counterpart of the leading team of the tournament, Hasan Salihamidzic.

However, the authority of the ‘Colts’ believes that the compromise will be played. Although, at the moment, Bayern Munich did not officially request a postponement to the German Football League (DFL).

It is important to mention Manuel Neuer, Lucas Hernández, Dayot Upamecano, Tanguy Nianzou, Omar Richards, Corentin Tolisso, Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sané tested positive for COVID-19. For their part, Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting and Bouna Sarr are with their teams in the African Cup.

Also, Josip Stasinic has had muscle problems. The same fate runs Leon Goretzka, who comes from an injury and is trained alone. While Niklas Süle was absent from this Wednesday’s work for unknown reasons.

Remember that the postponement of a match can be requested in case there are less than 16 players available, including a goalkeeper.

How is Bayern Munich doing in the Bundesliga?

The ‘Bavarians’ are the only leaders of the tournament with 43 units and are 9 points ahead of their closest pursuer, Borussia Dortmund. Bayern Munich has won 14 games, drew 1 and lost two.
