Coronavirus Spain: Officials aiming at LaLiga return in June

With clubs allowed to return to training after coronavirus testing, LaLiga officials are aiming for a June return for the top two divisions of Spanish football. Players from the top two divisions will train individually after an agreement with Spain's sports and health authorities that guaranteed the safety of both, players and staff. To facilitate the LaLiga return, officials have created comprehensive protocols for the return to training so that proper health guidelines are observed. The LaLiga return protocol includes training sessions progressing from individual to small groups and then team training.
