Spain has been hit hard by the corona crisis and has therefore had one of the world's hardest shutdowns. Now the plan is for it to be lightened slightly, but Illa still does not want to give football any guarantees. The Minister of Health also warned La Liga that their plans to corona test all players before they can go back in training could violate government policy.

"All tests must first be made available to the regional authorities," he said.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Saturday announced a easing of the closure - which was extended to May 9 - and that the population is now allowed to leave their homes for training and walking from next weekend.

La Liga was paused on March 12 and the closure was introduced on March 14. The corona virus has harvested more than 23,000 deaths in Spain.
