La Liga can resume from June 8, says Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez.
The league’s president, Javier Tebas, said he had hoped Spain’s top flight would restart on June 12, although La Liga is yet to confirm a restart date.
La Liga players started training in groups of no more than 10 at the start of the week.
“Spain has done what it should and now new horizons are opening for everyone. The time has come to bring back many day-to-day activities.

“But we cannot lower our guard, it is important to follow health regulations and ensure the pandemic doesn’t come back,” he added.
