Bayern Munich lead the Bundesliga table by five pointsThe German Bundesliga season can resume this month, Chancellor Angela Merkel has confirmed. It will become the first major league in Europe to return to competition, with a date for resumption to be confirmed by the German Football League (DFL) on Thursday. Christian Seifert, chief executive of the DFL, added: "Today's decision is good news for the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga 2. One player told me he felt a duty to play again because in the Bundesliga clubs don't have rich owners who can bail them out. One thing the German football authorities have demonstrated is that it needs to be a collective and unified effort from clubs, league and players.
