The league game between Rot-Weiss Essen and Rot Weiss Ahlen, which was scheduled for Wednesday evening, has been canceled after a major corona outbreak.
According to the Essen company, a double-digit number of players are in quarantine, most of whom have been infected with the virus. In addition, three other players whose test results are still pending are showing symptoms.
Essen now has fewer than 16 operational players. RWE announced that training operations for players who were not infected or affected by quarantine measures would also be suspended for the coming days. The home game against SV Lippstadt may also have to be canceled.
