Coronavirus: Union Berlin squad & backroom staff waive salaries amid global pandemic

Union Berlin have announced their first-team squad and backroom staff have agreed to waive their salaries to help the club during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The Bundesliga side - who are playing in the top flight for the first time this season - are counting the cost of not playing games, with the domestic season in Germany suspended since March 13 due to Covid-19.

Other staff members have also agreed to take pay cuts as all at the club pull together during the crisis, with the campaign not set to resume until May at the earliest.
