JAKARTA - The German Bundesliga will return from its hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic on Saturday, May 16 tomorrow. Julian Nagelsmann says his RB Leipzig squad are working on a modification to celebrate goals that meet strict health guidelines.
On matchday 26, Leipzig who finished third in the standings will host Freiburg in a stadium without spectators. Leipzig are five points adrift of leaders Bayern Munich.
In order to continue this season's league competition, the German Football League (DFL) has outlined a list of strict health regulations.
Launching Soccerway on Friday, the DFL urged players not to make frequent physical contact by recommending elbow or leg fights instead of hugging while celebrating a goal.
Nagelsmann stated that his players would not celebrate by huddling with his team-mates.
"The players must have thought of something but we had to score first," said Nagelsmann.
Striker Timo Werner has scored 21 goals this season. Meanwhile, the attackers Marcel Sabitzer and Patrik Schick should be able to appear again because they have recovered from injury.
Nagelsmann predicts that no one will over-celebrate goals given the players are struggling to get back in shape after 2 months of rest.

"If you haven't played in a long time and you have no rhythm, you will tend to play back and try to prevent goals," said Nagelsmann.
Then, considering there were no spectators, Nagelsmann, who was known for celebrating his way through the boundaries of the field, said he had to change the way he celebrated goals.
"I tend to act alone," he continued.
"I have to talk to myself again and try to act in a socially acceptable way in the (coach) zone," concluded Nagelsmann.
