Harry Kane set for weekend off with Bayern Munich’s match postponed as snow also wreaks havoc on UK fixture list
BAYERN MUNICH’S match with Union Berlin has been postponed due to heavy snow overnight.
The German champions – who are two points adrift leaders Bayer Leverkusen – were due to host Berlin.
But heavy snow has forced the game to be called off.
Bayern’s CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: “We very much regret that we have to postpone the match, but the safety of our fans and the supporters of Union Berlin has absolute priority.
“In addition, access to the Allianz Arena is not guaranteed due to numerous roads closures and various public transport cancellations.
“We will inform you about a possible new date as soon as possible.”
Safety risks and the traffic situation were cited for the reason to cancel.
Buses and trains were cancelled with roads and motorways closed.
The underground line U6 – which runs from Frottmaning to the Allianz Arena – has been suspended.
Munich police even recommend that people do not leave their homes.
It is not just games in Germany which have been axed either with EFL and FA Cup games called off.
Crewe and Bristol Rovers’ tie was just one high-profile match to have been postponement.
The re-arranged cup tie will be played on Tuesday, December 12, at 7:45pm.
A potential replay for the tie will be carried out on Tuesday, December 19.
