Regensburg also expect that the next two league games at VfL Osnabrück on March 7th and at home against SpVgg Greuther Fürth on March 13th cannot take place as originally scheduled.
Jahn coach Selimbegovic had already tested positive for the corona virus three days earlier and then missed the second division game against Paderborn on the same evening (1-0).
All other actors in this rule test were negative at the time, the game could take place according to the hygiene concept of the German Football League.
The 38-year-old reported to the “Mittelbayerische Zeitung” shortly afterwards that he had no symptoms.
He could not therefore explain where he could have been infected.
Selimbegovic had to follow the victory in quarantine at home and was represented on the sidelines by his assistant Sebastian Dreier.
