The German league takes the spotlight on Saturday as the first top European league to resume during the coronavirus pandemic, with one coach admitting it feels like "flying blind".

With league football still at least a month away in England, Italy and Spain, and France having already decided to end its season, the Bundesliga games this weekend will be beamed around the world.
Bundesliga CEO Christian Seifert has warned the matches, played in empty stadiums because of the risk of infection, will "look and feel different".
