Bundesliga club Leipzig apologized after a group of Japanese fans was kicked out of a match for fear it was infected with coronavirus, German publication Bild reported Monday.
According to the report, Leipzig admitted its security staff made a "mistake" during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen at Red Bull Arena, when about 20 Japanese were forced to leave the stadium at the start of the game due to misplaced coronavirus fears.
"Yesterday, I was visiting the game against Bayer Leverkusen. I entered the stadium with no problem," Taichi Hayashikawa wrote on Twitter.
