Leagues are considering their return in the footsteps of Germany’s example following the resumption of the Bundesliga after a break while the country dealt with the spread of COVID-19.
The top German leagues are set to enter a third gameweek in the wake of the government easing lockdown rules related to professional sport.

Dominic Cummings travelled further in lockdown with coronavirus than Crewe Alexandra have ever gone for a competitive game in their 143-year history.

Bloody typical how many people are suddenly “huge" fans of German Football. Some of us have been watching the Bundeslider for years; and would have been watching Bayern Dortmund vs Burundia Mortenharket anyway. Leave it to the real fans, please.

Bundesliga clubs should play sounds of fans cheering on loud speakers to create atmosphere like Tottenham does in their new stadium. #Bundesliga

#DailyBriefing If a Bundesliga football club team member puts one foot out of place they are out of the picture – one left his quarantine hotel for a toothbrush and that was it. That is for a game of football. Here in pandemic central we have a free for all. We are a joke again. pic.twitter.com/MhHE1QpvN2
