The DFL have broken with tradition and moved Eintracht Frankfurt's penultimate Bundesliga fixture to aid their recovery from playing Chelsea in the Europa League semi-final.
Historically, every team in the Bundesliga plays the final two rounds of fixtures at the same time, kicking off at 3:30pm.
But in an unorthodox move, the governing body have appeased Frankfurt, moving their game against Mainz from May 11 to Sunday May
