Thanks to Wolfsburg and SKY

The re-scheduling allows Bruno Labbadia’s side more time to regenerate and prepare for the Europa League play off clash away to Russian side Dynamo Moscow.

“We are very happy that this exceptional solution has been found and we are very thankful to the DFL for this. Without the agreement of VfL Wolfsburg and the broadcasting television channel, this wouldn’t have been possible,” explained VfB sport director Fredi Bobic and added: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank those responsible at VfL Wolfsburg, above all Felix Magath, for maintaining the integrity of solidarity amongst clubs in the league. SKY television also deserves great praise, particularly sport boss Carsten Schmidt. Throughout the discussion, they were always eager to provide a good and sensible solution for both parties.”
