The coronavirus pandemic has hit the Bundesliga, which is set to be suspended until April 2 at least.

And should the league resume at all this season, Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke expects all remaining games to take place without no fans.

"If we will play again this season, it will be behind closed doors. Nobody in the Bundesliga still assumes that we will be able to play with spectators," Watzke told ARD.

Watzke also believes that this summer's European Championship will be postponed.

"I think that's the way it will be. I hope so," the BVB boss said and added:

"I can't imagine that the opening game can take place in Rome on June 12. I expect the Euros to be postponed."
