Chelsea target Erling Haaland, Lewandoski, others to be confined to quarantine camps

There are reports that Bundesliga stars including Erling Haaland, Jadon Sancho and Robert Lewandowski will be confined to quarantine camps so the season can finish on time.

According to The Sun, a recent surge of Covid cases in teams has put pressure on the schedule so the German Football League has implemented the measures.

Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin and three second-division clubs have all had to postpone games this month after coronavirus outbreaks in their squads.

And more cases could mean there’s no time to squeeze the games in before this summer’s Euros starts in June.

Measures described as ‘quasi quarantine’ will begin from May 3 with players and staff allowed to spend time only at home or at club facilities.

And from May 12, they’ll move into a quarantine training camp shut off from the outside world for the last two rounds of games.

The Bundesliga is due to end on May 22 but more time is needed to hold promotion-relegation playoffs before teams release players for Euro 2020.

Hertha had to postpone three games and cancel team training for two weeks after the virus spread through the squad, with coach Pal Dardai among those infected.
