It seemed like this day would never come, but it’s finally time to start looking ahead to some team news around competitive fixtures.
It won’t surprise anyone that Germany is in a place where they can start to play again, the country is well known for being organized and sensible so they’ve done a good job in dealing with the pandemic, and the Bundesliga will benefit.
It was already a big league, but the world is craving competitive football so they will get some extra viewers when they start again next week, with an intriguing derby between Dortmund and Schalke set to take place.
