Ten individuals connected to clubs in the top two divisions of German football have tested positive for coronavirus. The German Football League (DFL) said 1,724 tests had been conducted on players and staff at the 36 first and second tier sides since last Thursday, who are building towards a return to action this month subject to government approval. Former Watford striker Marvin Sordell says players in England should be given the right to refuse to play amid the coronavirus pandemic. “This virus at times is a matter of life and death and any game of football – regardless of the famous saying – football isn’t more than life or death. If they want to play, and it’s safe to do so, then allow them to play.
