“With the results, ending the 2019/20 season has become more difficult,” said Christian Ebenbauer, after meeting representatives of the domestic Bundesliga on the one hand and the Ministry of Sport and Health on the other.
It is clear, according to the chairman of the Bundesliga, that “a season ends by June 30th. is not possible. “According to Ebenbauer, the” additional challenges that have arisen and all further steps will now be discussed with our clubs so that the revised concept can be communicated again in the course of the coming week. “
The absolute sticking point is the question of the consequence of a positive corona test by a player. While the Bundesliga only wants to quarantine the actor concerned and test its environment closely, the Ministry of Health demands that all contacts be isolated. And not only from your own team, but also from the opposing team, should the test be done around a game.
If there was a positive test, there would be a definitive termination. A real Damocles sword, as Ebenbauer knows. But he assured that they would not give up. “There are new parameters and we are making a new start.”
Especially since several points of the concept were rated as positive. Among other things, these points were recorded:
Full team training for the twelve Bundesliga and cup finalists Lustenau is only possible with the next ordinance from the Ministry of Health on May 15th.
The 2nd league may start training from May 15th, under the framework conditions then defined in the current regulation.
Test pooling, i.e. evaluating several people together, is allowed, which reduces the costs for testing.
