Leipzig planning limited-contact goal celebrations

Third-placed Leipzig host Freiburg behind closed doors when the Bundesliga resumes today amid the coronavirus pandemic, five points behind leaders Bayern Munich ahead of this weekend's matches.

In order for the league to resume, the German Football League (DFL) has drawn up a strict list of hygiene measures, with the DFL reportedly urging players to refrain from contact at all times, even recommending they tap elbows or feet instead of hugging to celebrate scoring goals.

"I'm not one to jump into group celebrations anyway, I tend to act alone," said Nagelsmann.

"The players have certainly thought of something, but we have to score a goal first."

Key to that task will be Leipzig striker Timo Werner, who has scored 21 league goals this season, while fellow forwards Marcel Sabitzer and Patrik Schick should be available after shaking off knocks.
