LaLiga president Javier Tebas has insisted
that Spanish league games would be played every day for a month should football
make its long-awaited return next month.
Spain's top flight was suspended indefinitely
in March following the outbreak of the coronavirus but after two months of
isolation, players have started to return to training while adhering to social
distancing rules.
The resumption of training has led to hopes that LaLiga can return in
the coming weeks, with Tebas pining for a return date of June 12. However, the
57-year-old remains uncertain over the exact date and insists that will be
minimal risk to players during matches.

'I
don't know when football will return. I don't know if the most probable date is
June 19, I would like it to be June 12. It will depend on spikes and
contagions,' Tebas told El Partidazo on
Movistar.
'There would be league games daily for 35 days. 24 hours
before the game the players will be tested.
'The lowest risk will be during games, I ask that health
regulations are followed to get to the start with as few infected as
possible.
'We're very on top of the control of players, at home I
ask that they keep following the protocol.
'Our
conduct should be exemplary to society, I see a lot of responsibility on the
players.'
When asked about football in Spain's return, Tebas
admitted that no dates have been set in stone as of yet. League officials
confirmed on Sunday that two Real Betis stars had the coronavirus following
initial testing on players, taking the total in Spain's top two divisions to
five. While there is cause for concern, Tebas is optimistic that the numbers
will stay relatively low.

Tebas
said: 'You have to adapt to the circumstances and we've worked on protocols,
structuring ideas about how to act in the best conditions without causing harm.
'We expected 25-30 positive tests, it's good news for the
football industry and Spanish society that there are eight positives, including
non-footballers, among 2,500 tests.
'Those players will have another kind of test on Tuesday,
they are in the final stages of the illness.'
