Bundesliga clubs resume training amid COVID-19 pandemic
The HinduWith the top clubs in the Bundesliga already back in training, envious rivals across Europe are watching to see whether the Germans gain an edge or pay a price when play resumes. In addition to the injury worry, when to resume training presents a problem of fairness, if some clubs can resume sooner than others it could distort competition and produce “crazy” results. Lockdown diaries: A time to take stock for Mithali Raj “We have to combine two central goals, namely to keep the players in a very good condition and at the same time avoid possible infections”, Martin Przondziono, the Paderborn sports director, told SID, AFP's German subsidiary. “One of the important things is that all the clubs resume training at the same time, that there are no disparities, that no one has an advantage over the others,” the 60-year-old Italian told L'Equipe. “They'll be back in shape in a week and a half or two.” The question of how long players need to safely regain match fitness will face all of Europe's top clubs after the unprecedented mid-season interruption.
