La Liga clubs to resume full training on Monday


  • English
  • Arabic

La Liga will allow players to return to full training from Monday, giving them 10 days to work together before the season restarts on June 11.

This is the final phase of La Liga's staggered training programme as teams get set to complete the remaining 11 rounds of the season, which will finish on July 19.

European competitions, including the Champions League, could then resume in August.

"La Liga clubs will start collective training on Monday, June 1," the league said in a statement on Saturday.

"The fourth phase, which starts next Monday, is the last step in this protocol that will lead to clubs starting competition on June 11."

La Liga president Javier Tebas has said the plan is for games to be played every day. The Spanish federation gave its permission last week for matches to be staged on all days of the week.

Players in Spain's top two divisions began training in groups of up to 10 from May 18 and then 14 shortly after, having initially started working individually at training grounds from May 4.

La Liga suspended fixtures due to the coronavirus pandemic on March 12, meaning the break between games stopping and restarting will be almost exactly three months.

Matches will be held behind closed doors, with the Seville derby between Sevilla and Real Betis expected to be the first game back on June 11.

Barcelona, who are two points clear at the top of the table, will resume away at Real Mallorca while Real Madrid are at home against Eibar.
