MADRID - Balls and pitches will need to be sterilised frequently when Spanish football returns in order to minimise the chance of players getting infected by the coronavirus, a leading doctor in the sport has said.

Rafa Ramos, president of the association of Spanish football club doctors, has outlined what conditions will be like when matches, which are set to be played in closed stadiums with no spectators, return. "It's possible to be infected by an unknown ball but when you are struck by a sterilised ball on a sterilised surface, it's very hard to get infected."
