Leganes boss reveals LaLiga will return on June 20 and will finish in FIVE weeks

Leganes manager Javier Aguirre has reportedly revealed that LaLiga is set to make its long-awaited return on June 20, barring there are no more delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Aguirre revealed on Thursday that the current campaign will be completed over a five-week period where games will be played on Wednesdays, Thursdays and at the weekend.

Each team in Spain's top-flight has 11 games left to play, which would see sides play twice a week in a bid to complete the current campaign by July 26.

'We've now got a restart date: LaLiga will start again on June 20 and we'll officially finish within five weeks, on July 26,' Aguirre told MARCA Claro.

'[Matches] will be played Saturday, Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for the 11 [remaining] fixtures.

'LaLiga have now confirmed that to me officially and so I'm happy, because we've now got training all scheduled.

'We'll start tomorrow. Fortunately, we passed our [coronavirus] tests.'

Teams returned to training earlier this week, where they have undergone coronavirus tests in a bid to get the season back underway.

Should training sessions make their return, teams will have approximately six weeks to get ready before the proposed date of June 20.

Playing twice a week would allow the league to finish by July 26, which would take just over a month.
