He informed German broadcaster ZDF: “It would be okay for me. You have to be sporting.”

Asked whether playing out the remainder of the season behind closed doors may appeal as an alternative, Gundogan responded: “Honestly, I can’t imagine that – and I don’t know how realistic it is.”

Gundogan would remain in favour of leading players compromising their wages to assist those having a hard time lower down the football pyramid throughout the crisis, stating: “Of course I would find that okay, of course. The lower league clubs do not have it so easy.”
