La Liga set for June restart

Barcelona: La Liga announced yesterday it planned to restart the Spanish league campaign in June after more than two months without games due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Individual training will begin for players this week after the country’s government lifted sport-related measures.

“People’s health is paramount, so we have a comprehensive protocol to safeguard the health of everyone involved as we work to restart La Liga,” league president Javier Tebas said.

From today, professional footballers in Spain will undergo tests for COVID-19. -
