Bundesliga return decision delayed with proposed May 9 restart looking impossible
The German government has not yet given the green light for top flight football to resume and a decision is set to be made next Wednesday
The Bundesliga faced fresh uncertainty over its resumption on Thursday after the German government delayed a decision on when football can return.
Germany's top two divisions were suspended on March 13 due to the coronavirus pandemic and league officials had hoped this week to get the green light to play games behind closed doors.
German Football League (DFL) chief executive Christian Seifert said last week the Bundesliga was ready to get back up and running from May 9, though he left the final decision in the hands of the government.
