w s welcome cross this story is developing yes what do we know at the moment about these positive tests well here's what we know as you mentioned you know we don't know if there are players or their staff but some reports suggest that 2 players and possibly the physical therapist or the positive results as this rumor at this point but here's the most important thing the german football league just started testing they just started testing on thursday that was a mandate handed down from the state they expect a decision to be made you know on the 30th of april that was a mate that's basically being pushed back to next week the team started testing the 1st batch of testing and then we already have 3 results but according to the hygiene and control measures in place that have been in place since the beginning of april when they started training in small groups. or the reasons that the training continues ok well the bundesliga was confident of restocking and may so how will this affect about i think it will definitely raise

a red flag you know it is specially when you factor in that the state will revisit the conversation next week and with the series of tests taking place who knows how many positive results you know will come out of that we know that there are 3 so far that might be 3 too many you know and besides that you have this other conversation going on with byron c.e.o. has really been pushing for german football to resume they really want the british think it to serve as some beacon of hope for german society and as an example to the rest of europe of how things can get back on track in. but obviously you know some argue that's profit over the players some risk of bankruptcy if their product isn't you know in front of t.v. cameras so you have a lot of conversations but i think that they'll really have to revisit the conversation i wouldn't be shocked if the state pulled the plug on german football like we've seen in other european countries we've seen it in france we've seen it in the netherlands you know we have to wait and see what the numbers are but i

think it's just a negative sign ok so we have 3 positive coronavirus tests training is continuing plans must have concerns about safety of course they have concerns you know just here in germany pot of born was the 1st club to report a positive test their captain has could seriously you know been opposed to the idea of resuming you know action so soon because he simplified it is saying hey i just play a game but i understand if i'm called back i have to toe the line and be a company man and start playing but we've also heard a byron players express a speculation and concern about returning so soon even outside of germany sergey oh where oh a star player for man chester city he basically said i'm afraid you know because at the end of the day we're all human beings and there's one a bill is any one of contract in this deadly disease and worst of all the possibility of bringing it back to their families i'm sure you know is increasing their level of fear chris heinz or deb you support thank you ok. let's take
