As Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder, Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia Armin Laschet and DFL CEO Christian Seifert announced on Monday, it is conceivable that play could resume in the Bundesliga in the near future.

FC Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: "The statements from the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder and the Prime Minister of North-Rhine Westphalia, Armin Laschet, are a very positive signal for the resumption of Bundesliga matches.
