German football returns under intense scrutiny COVID19
Football in Germany returns to the pitch on Saturday as the Bundesliga becomes the first of Europe's top leagues to swing back into action since the coronavirus lockdown.
On Sunday, Bayern Munich, who were four points clear at the top of the table when the season was suspended in March, will resume their quest for an eighth successive Bundesliga title when they play in the capital against Union Berlin.To minimise the risk of infection, players and staff are being tested regularly and each club has been in a week-long quarantine ahead of the matches.
"I made a mistake," Herrlich said. "I did not live up to my function as a role model for my team and the public." Bavaria's state leader Markus Soeder warned that those who fail to follow the regulations should expect consequences.
