COVID-19: La Liga clubs to return to training this week

Madrid [Spain], May 4 (ANI): La Liga clubs is set to return to training this week after the Spanish government on Monday gave permission to do so, following weeks of coronavirus-enforced lockdown in the country.

"This crisis has had a profound impact on all of us. The return of football is a sign that society is progressing towards the new normal.
