The first round match in the DFB Cup between the fifth division club Bremer SV and FC Bayern Munich has been rescheduled.
According to the DFB on Thursday, the game will now take place on August 25th (8.15 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the DFB Cup, on Sport 1 and Sky) in Bremen's Weserstadion.
Due to corona cases and the subsequent quarantine measures at Bremer SV, the game originally scheduled for Friday had been postponed.
The draw for the 2nd round of the DFB Cup will be drawn on September 5th in the Sportschau.
Meanwhile, VfB Stuttgart has to do without Tanguy Coulibaly and Nikolas Nartey as well as attacker Sasa Kalajdzic in its cup game on Saturday against BFC Dynamo (3.30 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the DFB Cup and on Sky). All three players had already tested positive for the corona virus last week. The injured Silas Katompa Mvumpa, Chris Führich, Orel Mangala, Lilian Egloff, Naouirou Ahamada and Momo Cissé are also missing. Captain Wataru Endo is also still with the Japanese national team at the Olympic Games.
Borussia Dortmund also had to cancel a planned public training session last Tuesday after defender Thomas Meunier and midfielder Julian Brandt tested positive for the virus. TSG Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt also recently recorded an infection in the team.
