'You have to get on with it': Jens Lehmann says players 'have to cope' with coronavirus and insists that for people 'with a strong immune system, it is not a big concern' after recovering from the illness himself

Jens Lehmann has dismissed coronavirus as 'not a big concern' for footballers ahead of the return of the Bundesliga this weekend.

The German top-flight will become the first major European league to return on Saturday with the Premier League hoping to return next month and France's Ligue 1 already cancelling their season.

And the former Arsenal goalkeeper insists that players will just have to get on with it, with the Bundesliga carrying on despite three positive tests at Cologne and Dynamo Dresden being forced to postpone their game after going into quarantine.
