In the case that they delayed the preparativos for the set up of the football the weekend of 12 June, this first day of resumption would happen to 19 June, delaying a week. Everything seems to indicate, however, that the football will be able to return on 12 June without problems, and with the measures of security that have gone agreeing along the last days.

This yes, the clubs consider indispensable that his players have at least two weeks of preparation and collective trainings, without restrictions, before restarting the competition. If this work could not initiate this Monday, day 25 May, LaLiga hardly could start again on 12 June and yes instead on 19 June.
