Each individual player's behaviour will be 'crucial until the end of the season', the medical head of the Bundesliga and UEFA's efforts to restart the game across the continent warned on Sunday.
MANCHESTER, England - Each individual player’s behaviour will be “crucial until the end of the season”, the medical head of the Bundesliga and UEFA’s efforts to restart the game across the continent warned on Sunday.
The Bundesliga will become the first major league in Europe to resume action, on May 16, with games held without spectators and with strict restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.“That also means to be disciplined as a player. Keeping themselves away from the virus and the virus from them is the target. They need to be responsible.
“We do not think that any job, any profession in the country is 100% safe at this moment, as long as you deal with other human beings. That came into the spotlight on Saturday when Bundesliga 2 team Dynamo Dresden were told by their local health body to put the entire squad into 14 days quarantine after two of their players tested positive for the virus.
“Usually, and this will be exactly the same with football, the affected person is put into quarantine and then the local health authority starts to check contact persons... fortunately in professional football we have footage of training sessions and each match,” he added, noting that tracking systems would be able to provide quick and detailed information.Meyer has been in regular contact with medical staff at the Premier League and the English Football Association.
