Neuer urges Bundesliga players to be responsible when season restarts from Covid-19 break

Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer said Bundesliga players must be aware of their responsibility upon the proposed restart of the season.

The 2019-20 Bundesliga campaign has been postponed since March amid the coronavirus pandemic, but German chancellor Angela Merkel is set to announce a return date on Wednesday.

According to reports, the competition could resume as early as May 15, which would make the Bundesliga the first of the five major European domestic leagues to return since the Covid-19 crisis.
