The Munich health department decides whether league leaders Bavaria can kick off the spring of the German Bundesliga against Mönchengladbach today (8 p.m., pulse 24, Sat.1): Nine players of the record champions are in quarantine. If it is the Omikron variant, the entire team could be isolated.
Bayern requested a postponement because Goretzka and Stanisic are injured and Choupo-Moting and Sarr have left for the Africa Cup. Coach Nagelsmann questioned the staging of the game, “also in the interests of health”.
Four games were canceled in Italy yesterday. As provided by the Serie A protocol, the Inter players warmed up in Bologna, for example – but the opponent, who had been quarantined by the local health authority, was missing. Bologna did not announce whether Arnautovic was one of the infected. According to the league specifications, the game is rated 3-0 for Inter. Atalanta (against FC Turin), Venice (against Salerno) and Florence (against Udine) “won” the same way.
At Manchester City, coach Guardiola is one of the 21 suspected cases. Today’s FA Cup game at fourth division Swindon should take place as planned.
