RB Leipzig rally for support to Aston Villa, Lyon ahead of Bundesliga return

RB Leipzig and the rest of the clubs in Germany's top flight are gearing up for the Bundesliga return this weekend. Over 173,000 people tested positive for COVID-19 over the last two months in Germany with 7,661 deaths amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Germany has eased restrictions in recent weeks having registered 143,000 recoveries from the deadly virus. Fans will now be able to tune into Bundesliga fixtures this weekend after they were denied their weekly dose of football for the last two months. As clubs gear up to play games behind closed doors, RB Leipzig have been asking foreign football clubs to urge their fans to support them when the Bundesliga returns on May 16.
