Bayern's DFB-Pokal clash with Bremer SV postponed due to COVID-19 outbreak

Bayern Munich's first competitive match of the season has been postponed, with a COVID-19 outbreak within the Bremer SV camp putting to an end the chances of the DFB-Pokal tie between the two sides taking place on the initially scheduled date.

Bremer, who play in the fifth tier of German football, were looking forward to facing the defending German champions but there have been several positive COVID-19 cases found within their senior squad, which has brought about a number of enforced periods of quarantine.

The date that the match will be replayed on has not yet been announced, meaning Julian Nagelsmann's first competitive match in charge of the Bavarian giants is likely set to come in the Bundesliga.
