It’s another positive step for Barcelona and La Liga, the next phase would see the club being given permission to return to full training before a possible restart in June.

There is still no confirmation when La Liga will return but there’s a definite desire to try to complete the 2019-20 campaign with games set to be played behind closed doors.
