Después de una pausa de aproximadamente 10 días, LaLiga debería reiniciarse este fin de semana. Sin embargo, la posibilidad de que el plan se reconsidere está sobre la mesa debido al alto número de jugadores diagnosticados con Covid-19.

MADRID — Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard will start at home to Cadiz in LaLiga on Sunday, manager Carlo Ancelotti has said.
It will be the first time the Belgium midfielder has been in the starting lineup since Real's 2-1 home loss to Sheriff Tiraspol in the Champions League on Sept. 28.
Ancelotti said Hazard's selection has nothing to do with Real missing six players due to a COVID-19 outbreak at the club.
