The Prime Ministers of Bavaria and Nordrhein-Westfalen have given their backing to a proposal from German Football League (DFL) boss Christian Seifert
The Bundesliga could return behind closed doors as early as May 9, according to the Prime Ministers of two German states.
Markus Soder, the Prime Minister of Bavaria and Armin Laschet, the Prime Minister of Nordrhein-Westfalen, suggested football could be back sooner than many have expected as long as restrictions are followed and safeguarding is in place.
The CEO of the German Football League (DFL), meanwhile, has warned football clubs would have to set a disciplined example to the rest of the population if play is resumed.
