McKennie pleased Schalke avoided 'indescribable' prospect of playing Revierderby with Dortmund without fans

The USMNT star says some of the players were happy to see the game called off due to the coronavirus pandemic rather than played behind closed doors

Schalke and USMNT star Weston McKennie says he was pleased his side’s scheduled Revierderby clash with Borussia Dortmund was cancelled rather than being played behind closed doors.

The 21-year-old last trained with his team-mates on March 13, a day before they were due to travel to Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

The derby was initially scheduled to be played without fans due to the coronavirus pandemic, before being postponed entirely.
