MADRID - The Spanish soccer season, halted like most major sporting competitions due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, is unlikely to return until the summer, the country's health minister Salvador Illa said on Sunday .

The league has produced a protocol with strict guidelines for clubs to follow when training resumes while Spain's sports ministry has also set out a plan for a return to action in closed stadiums to boost the local economy."I cannot say now if professional football will be able to restart before the summer, it would be imprudent of me," he told a news conference.

"There is an order from the health ministry which is in place for all types of groups, including professional football," he said."They have to put whatever type of diagnostic tests they have at the disposition of the regional governments."
