FC Bayern is worried about the DFB Cup match against RB Leipzig in Munich due to the announced warning strike on public transport. The club did not rule out postponement on Sunday evening after the 5:1 win against TSG Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.
"We haven't made the decision yet. We will discuss it tomorrow. And if we believe that the match is feasible, which we all assume, then of course we will go ahead with it because the replacement options are also very limited," said CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen.
The trade union Verdi has called for an all-day local transport warning strike in Munich and elsewhere on match day. The DFB quarter-final match is scheduled for the evening (8.45 pm) in the Munich Arena. "Wednesday is a special situation," said Dreesen.
There had been a meeting with the Munich transport company, the police and other authorities, reported the FC Bayern CEO. "We will have to see how we organize this. We will talk to each other again tomorrow and will also announce tomorrow during the course of the day whether and how we are in a position to do so," said Dreesen.
