Bayern Munich players will resume training on Monday "in small groups", the Bavarian club said on Sunday for the first time since the Bundesliga was suspended due to the coronavirus.

"Bayern Munich's first team will return to small group training," the club said in a statement.

"This will be done in coordination with the policy of the government and the competent authorities. It goes without saying that all hygiene rules will be strictly observed," added the club, at the top of the Bundesliga standings before the interruption of the competition on March 13.

The club calls on its supporters to "continue to follow the instructions of the authorities. Therefore please do not come to the Bayern training center".

More than 1,000 people died in Germany from the Covid-19.
