The German ice hockey club Red Bull Munich have reported a coronavirus outbreak in their squad with 14 players and four members of the coaching and backroom staff testing positive, reported dpa.

Wednesday's game against Adler Mannheim has been postponed, the German hockey league (DEL) said Monday. Munich have five players injured alongside their coronavirus absentees.

Munich reported first coronavirus cases on Saturday which led to the postponement of their fixture on Sunday - the first match to fall victim to the pandemic in the league this season.
