Leeds United reopens Elland Road after police make arrest over security threat

Leeds United was allowed to reopen its Elland Road stadium on Sunday after the membership was suggested by West Yorkshire Police to shut the premises as a result of a safety risk.

The police mentioned that they had arrested a 20-year-old man on Friday “in connection with the incident and enquiries remain ongoing”. The risk was made by way of social media on Thursday.

“West Yorkshire Police have advised Leeds United that Elland Road can reopen, effective immediately. We apologise for any inconvenience and we thank the public for their support,” the Premier League membership mentioned in a press release.

Leeds, which is 14th within the Premier League, returns to motion after the worldwide break when its travels to chief Arsenal on April 1. Its subsequent house sport is on April 4 towards Nottingham Forest.
