The key games see second-placed Borussia Dortmund at home to Schalke in Saturday’s derby and leaders Bayern Munich, who are four points clear, visiting Union Berlin on Sunday. However, professor Wilhelm Bloch, from the German Sports University in Cologne, warns that contracting the coronavirus has the potential to end a player’s career.“There is a risk that top athletes may lose their level of performance and never regain it,” Bloch told AFP in a phone interview.
“Players are not in total quarantine, they are with their families, even if they have been instructed to limit contact,” he said.“They will all be tested, but not all the coronavirus tests work perfectly. There is a relatively large margin of error.”
