BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayer Leverkusen players, staff and management on Wednesday unanimously agreed to accept an unspecified pay cut as the Bundesliga remains suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Leverkusen captain Lars Bender said discussions had taken place in the last few weeks and on Tuesday they reached an agreement.

"The team is ready to waive part of the salaries in order to support the club in its efforts to financially overcome the corona crisis," Bender said in a club statement following a makeshift training session where players trained only in pairs.

Play in the Bundesliga has been suspended since mid-March and the German Football League on Tuesday extended the league suspension until at least April 30. The DFL has also hinted that should play resume in the coming weeks or months, it would most likely be without spectators.
