HAMBURG, Germany (AP) – Tuesday’s Bundesliga game between Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburger SV was postponed at short notice due to structural concerns with the roof of Hamburg Stadium.<\/p>\n

In a statement less than three hours before kick-off, the league said it had closed the Volksparkstadion due to “weather-related structural risks to the roof area of \u200b\u200bthe stadium”. The match will be rescheduled at a later date.<\/p>\n

Another match between Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt has started as scheduled. The next two matches, Borussia Dortmund vs. Werder Bremen and Mainz vs. Heidenheim, will also be held.<\/p>\n

This is the third time in recent days that a Bundesliga match has been canceled. Two games originally scheduled for Saturday were postponed due to safety concerns regarding snow and ice in northern Germany.<\/p>\n

The games between Hamburg-based St. Pauli and Leipzig and Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim were both postponed to January 27 earlier on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
