Winter break? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that!
The Bundesliga continues to have a grip on the corona crisis. Due to the delayed start of the season, the Bundesliga clubs have little recovery around the Christmas holidays. Because it will continue on January 2nd. (Service: Bundesliga match schedule)
Especially the clubs that are (or were) still represented in the DFB-Pokal hardly had any days off. The exception here was FC Bayern. The second round match at Holstein Kiel was postponed to mid-January. The same applies to the duel between Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt. (Service: DFB Cup schedule)
