AFE say players will not return to training without Spanish government's green light LaLiga Released a statement

The Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) have made clear that players in LaLiga Santander are not willing to return to training if the Spanish government does not give the official green light.

The AFE held a meeting with the captains of all 20 LaLiga Santander sides to discuss the current coronavirus crisis and the security measures proposed by the league to end the season.

"Health has been the main topic of debate and in this aspect there is absolute union," AFE's statement read.

"[Players] want the Ministry of Health to give the definitive OK to return to sports activities.

"They will transfer their concerns to the Ministry of Health and the [National Sports Council] CSD, since the football players understand that their word must be heard at all times.

"Regarding training camps, if necessary they continue to be contrary to them."

Meanwhile, the CSD have pointed out that they consider footballers, and therefore AFE, a decisive part of all the agreements that are being reached and they confirm being in contact with them at all times.
