We'll be ready when it resumes.” The German Football League wants to restart matches in empty stadiums from May 16, providing it gets the final green light from Chancellor Angela Merkel's government. But it's also important to get back on track for the economic survival of the clubs.” Despite having two children, Schmid said he was not worried about the possibility of infection.
