Bundesliga return in early May unlikely as decision on 'ghost games' delayed

The league's CEO Christian Seifert said last week he was hopeful clubs could return to action behind closed doors by next month

The Bundesliga's return in early May is looking unlikely after government talks on the resumption of football were pushed back to at least April 30.

Chancellor Angela Merkel met with Germany's 16 minister presidents on Wednesday regarding the future of the fight against coronavirus in Germany.

The topic of the Bundesliga's return behind closed doors with so-called "ghost games" was expected to be on the agenda, but it was not discussed.
