The announcement came hours after the German Football League (DFL) postponed this weekend's Bundesliga and second division due to coronavirus - a suspension likely to last until at least April 2.

The league had initially approved the weekend matches to be played behind closed doors, but developments Friday led to all the fixtures being called off.

Germany now joins England, Spain, Italy and France of Europe's leading leagues in calling off their programmes.

A general meeting of DFL members is scheduled Monday to confirm the suspension continues until April 2.

Tests had been carried out on some SC Paderborn players because manager Steffen Baumgart had shown some symptoms of infection.

He turned out to be negative but 20-year-old Kilian's test came back positive.

The club said in a statement it was taking "extensive measures" to contain the risk of infection and was coordinating with local authorities about the next steps.

All players and relevant team members are expected to be tested on Saturday.

Kilian, considered a rising Bundesliga star, has been recovering from a thigh injury suffered in January.
