Verstraete backtracks on criticism as Koln plan quarantine-like training camp

FC Koln are planning to move into a "quarantine-like" training camp after the Bundesliga club were hit with three positive coronavirus tests.

On Friday, Koln announced three unspecified people at the club contracted Covid-19 amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has brought the Bundesliga and sport to a standstill globally.

The trio – which reportedly consists of two players and a physio – were consequently told to undergo a 14-day quarantine procedure.

A decision on the potential resumption of the Bundesliga is set to be made on Wednesday and Koln announced they will head into a training camp in a protected location if politicians approve to conclude the 2019-20 campaign.
