'Ghost games' are sh*t without fans, but they're the only solution - Kramer

A return to action in Germany is likely to be behind closed doors as the world continues to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic

Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Christoph Kramer has reiterated his feelings on playing matches without fans, insisting 'ghost games' are “sh*t” but admits that they are the only solution to getting German football moving again at the earliest opportunity.

The 2014 World Cup winner saw his Gladbach side climb to fourth place in the Bundesliga before football around the world was called to a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic, with only Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig ahead of them in the German top flight.
