    Bayern Munich are back in training as they look to claim the German top-flight league title. The Bundesliga is set to be the first major men’s football competition to resume in Europe on Friday, May 15 after the shutdown of the sport across the continent in March. The Belgian, French and Dutch leagues were all cancelled prematurely after governments decided it is not safe for sport to staged yet — even without fans. Image Credit: AFP
