LaLiga Players Undergo COVID-19 Tests.

Spanish football clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid began covid-19 tests on their players on Wednesday as La Liga clubs planned to return to restricted training ahead of the proposed resumption of the season next month.

Results from the covid-19 tests are typically known within 48 hours. The testing is part of the league’s strict medical protocol with which teams must comply before a return to training.

The first of a four-phase de-escalation programme announced by the Spanish government last week would allow players to initially train alone, with a maximum of six players allowed on the pitch.

La Liga is proposing to complete its season behind closed doors, with games starting again in the middle of June.
