MADRID (Reuters) - Five players in Spain's top two divisions have tested positive for COVID-19 since clubs began testing players and staff members last week, organising body La Liga said in a statement on Sunday.
La Liga said the players would remain at their homes where they would continue individual training before being tested again"in the next few days" to determine whether they can return to their club's training ground.
La Liga, who last week said it was hoping to resume matches without spectators in June, said detecting positive cases was vital to its programme for returning to activity.
