Three Koln players have contracted COVID-19 days after all Bundesliga clubs returned to full training.
The German club are not ruling out their training sessions despite sad news, but have placed all three unnamed players in a 14-day quarantine.
Kiln had conducted tests on all players, coaches and backroom staff on their return to work and three players tested positive but claimed they showed no symptom.
This would come as a huge blow as the May 9, 2020, resumption date of the Bundesliga has come under serious threat.
Koln who are currently tenth on the table said: "Three people tested positive. All are symptom free.
"After an assessment of the cases by the responsible health authorities, the three people who tested positive will go into a 14-day quarantine at home.
"FC Koln will not confirm any names out of respect for the privacy of those affected.
"FC Koln's training can continue as planned, according to the hygiene and infection control measures that have been in place since April 6 in group training."
The club's managing director Horst Heldt insists they are doing all they can to ensure no on else is affected.
"The health and private sphere of players and staff have priority above all else."
