Bayern Munich’s DFB-Pokal semi-final clash with Eintracht Frankfurt has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, as has the last-four fixture between Saarbrucken and Bayer Leverkusen.
Holders Bayern, who defeated RB Leipzig 3-0 in last season’s final, were due to host Frankfurt on either April 21 or 22, while Leverkusen were scheduled to visit fourth-tier side Saarbrucken.
However, it was confirmed on Friday that both matches will not take place on the planned dates due to the continued threat of COVID-19.
The Bundesliga has been suspended since March 13 and is on hold until April 30 at the earliest.
