Former Arsenal goalkeeper, Jens Lehmann, says professional Footballers should have no issues with contracting Coronavirus. According to the footballers fit lifestyles mean they don't get to show adverse symptoms of the disease.
Lehmann has reportedly full recovery from Covid-19. He has urged players to get back on the pitch.
Meanwhile the Premier League authorities have announced that the league is set to return next month.
‘In the end, you have to live with it, because the only thing that this lockdown is based on is the hope that eventually we are going to find a vaccine or some medicine which cures it. But there’s only hope,’ he told beIN Sports.
‘So far we don’t have anything. Because of that, you cannot shut down everything. So you have to get on with it. ‘As long as the symptoms are not that bad, I think players have to cope with it.
‘We have plenty of players who were actually infected, and most of them did not even show any symptoms. ‘So I think for young, healthy, people with a strong immune system it’s not such a big concern.’
Lehmann joined Arsenal on 25 July 2003 replacing the recently departed David Seaman.
He was a member of Arsenal's 'Invincibles', playing every match of their unbeaten title-winning season in 2003–04. He also holds the UEFA Champions League record for the most consecutive clean sheets, not conceding a single goal in 10 consecutive matches while he played for Arsenal.
He retired in 2011.
