​Everton loanee Kenny excited for Bundesliga return

Everton loanee Jonjoe Kenny is happy that he is heading back to the Bundesliga.

Kenny is on loan at Schalke and will be taking part in the league's resumption on May 16.

He has full trust in his team and the authorities in Germany who have made the decision that it is safe to resume play.

Kenny told Sky Sports News: "I trust the club doctors, the health and safety guidelines that we have got over in Germany, that you are eligible to go and play.

"I think, if it wasn't right to go and play, they wouldn't let you.

"We have been off for two months now and, if it was eligible to play we would have played, so I think it was waiting for the right time, waiting for things to calm down a little bit.

"I feel relaxed, I feel ready to play

"I trust Schalke and Schalke trust us players to go and do the right things, to make sure you stay at home - stay in and keep yourself out of any trouble.

"All the lads did that and so we are all looking forward to getting out there and playing."
