A bit more on La Ligas supposed return too
The
New York Times noted that La Liga want “daily tests for coronavirus” for all those involved.
Guillem Balague confirmed that La Liga have already bought up enough testing kits to satisfy that requirement. However, just because La Liga have the kits, that’s not the end of the matter. Instead, some clubs are concerned with the moral and ethical issues of testing players every day while Spanish civilians may be struggling to get the same tests.
Guillem Balague confirmed that Celta Vigo are refusing to take the Covid-19 tests right now as they believe others in society need the tests more urgently.
Aside from testing, there are also bigger safety issues at play regarding La Liga’s possible resumption.
In that regard, Guillem Balague has claimed:
Barcelona are considering telling La Liga that they will not play unless there are enough guarantees that it’s safe to do so.
The problem with Barcelona’s stance is that La Liga aim to get every player in the league to sign waiver forms. Balague continued:
As part of the protocal players have to sign a consent that they have been informed that there is no risk.
Players aren’t happy to sign this. Who will be responsible if they catch it?
