The current La Liga season is said to resume next month and Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barca have scheduled their medical testing for Wednesday. Initially, the players will be training individually until further notice allows them to train together.
Every club must comply with La Liga’s strict inspections and protocol to ensure player safety in the facilities. Once the clubs have been approved, the players will be allowed to use the facilities individually. Soon they will train in small groups, probably aimed at the different positions and training, and finally be allowed to hold sessions with the entire squad.
Blaugrana have already passed the inspections, confirmed by the club’s statement.
