Regensburg (AP) - The DFB Cup quarter-final game between SSV Jahn Regensburg and Werder Bremen on Tuesday (6.30 p.m.) is threatened with cancellation.
In addition to head coach Mersad Selimbegovic, other corona cases occurred at the second division soccer club from the Upper Palatinate.
This was reported by managing director Christian Keller at the press conference on Monday and said that the club was therefore expecting the game to be postponed.
The Green-Whites from Bremen "assume that the game will not take place," it said on the homepage on Monday.
The entire SSV supervisory team and the team would now probably have to be in quarantine, explained managing director Keller.
There was initially no official notification from the health department in Regensburg and the German Football Association (DFB).

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 on Friday and then missed the second division game against Paderborn on the same evening (1-0).
The 38-year-old reported to the “Mittelbayerische Zeitung” 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.
