La Liga Clubs have begun plans to have football clubs resuming training.
The move comes after the Spanish Government gave the green light to the football association.
Football in Spain was suspended indefinitely back in March when the nation was hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
The country’s top division has created a detailed protocol for the resumption of training in line with the health directives on safety and social distancing.
Spain has been one of the nations in Europe hardly hit by the pandemic that has claimed over 24,000 lives and over 230,000 testing positive of the virus.
Spain has announced a four-phase plan to lift the country’s stringent lockdown and, during ‘phase zero’ from 4 to 11 May, professional sports leagues can go back to training.
Part of La Liga’s health protocols includes training sessions progressing from individual to small group and then team training.
The protocols will also include players, coaches, and staff being tested before the training resume.
Elsewhere, Ligue 1 and 2 sporting calendar was cancelled after France’s government banned all sporting events in the country.
