Hyderabad: The Premier League clubs are back into the action behind closed doors after a hiatus, forced by the Covid-19 pandemic, which had wreaked havoc in the world. And with no fans in the stands, English Premier League club Leeds United had invited their fans to send their pictures to place cutouts placed in the stands.
And their move backfired, after a photo of their stand went viral on social media in which a cardboard cutout of former Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was placed.

According to a British media outlet, Laden's cutout from their stadium at Elland Road was spotted on Twitter ahead of their clash against Fulham on Saturday. And after the photo went viral on Twitter, Leeds United have removed the cardboard cutout.
With no fans in the stadium, Leeds United had introduced a scheme for their fans to felt their presence in the stadium. And to sign up for the same, fans had to pay £25. Once a fan had signed up for the scheme, a cutout of their photos would be placed at the Elland Road stadium.
However, Leeds United on Thursday said that they have removed it from the stadium. And they “will ensure there are no more offensive images” in the stadium.
