Germany to give green light to restart football in May

The German government and state leaders are set Wednesday to give the Bundesliga the green light to restart behind closed doors later this month after weeks of shutdown imposed to control the spread of the coronavirus, according to a draft government agreement. 

The Bundesliga would become the first major European league to return to action. Teams returned to training on April 6 although sessions have followed stringent social distancing rules and players are not allowed to change at training grounds.
