Bayern Munich players have accepted a salary cut which will last until the "end of the season" to help the Bundesliga champions through the coronavirus crisis, club president Herbert Hainer said yesterday. In April, the Bayern squad took a 20-percent reduction in salary, but Hainer did not specify how large the cut was this time. "It is very satisfying to see that our team understands the situation and will again give up part of their salary until the end of the season," Hainer told German daily Bild. The German top-flight season is scheduled to end on June 27, although Bayern could potentially also be in the German Cup final on July 4.
