In anticipation of La Liga's planned return in June, Barcelona's players must undergo Covid-19 testing before they are cleared for individual training. This Wednesday marks their first return to the training grounds since the start of March, as the club follows the league's roadmap back to competitive play.
Barcelona’s players will return to their training ground on Wednesday for the first time since early March to undergo testing for the coronavirus as La Liga clubs begin the path back to activity ahead of a planned return to action in June.
According to a Tuesday statement from the Spanish champions, the first team will be back at the facilities on Wednesday for mandatory health checks, paving the way for individual training in the coming days.
La Liga has officially authorized these tests to ensure player safety, following a successful inspection of the club's facilities earlier this morning.
The team's last outing was a narrow 1-0 win over Real Sociedad on March 7, a result that put them two points ahead of Real Madrid with 11 fixtures remaining in the league.
On Monday, La Liga announced that all member clubs would initiate player testing this week, serving as the opening phase of a comprehensive four-step protocol to bring back matches—conducted behind closed doors—in June.
