Yes, like an oasis in the middle of a barren desert. Several countries in Europe through their related institutions, have announced that they will continue the soccer competition which was delayed due to the corona virus. The plan to return to football competition in European countries is like a hope that we all have to fight this virus.
As is well known, since the outbreak of the corona virus has resulted in the cessation of soccer competition in Europe. Countries such as England, Italy, Germany, and Spain are countries that have quite an elite competition in terms of football. Actually France also has an elite soccer competition. But since corona outbreaks on European soil, France has decided to stop the competition completely and solidify PSG as league champions.
Starting in early May, several players from the English EPL competition, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga and Spanish La Liga, were called in and have come to their respective clubs for medical tests. This is done as a health protocol and prior to the inaugural training to signal the start of the competition.

It is not only Real Madrid who call their players home for medical tests. Barcelona has also called on its players and several other Laliga clubs have also called on players to conduct medical tests.
Seria A Italian League also did the same thing. The clubs have called back their players to do medical tests. Juventus and Lazio have undergone medical tests to the players and have done their first practice. The training that was held was quite unique, in one field there could only be 5 players and the coach was only monitoring from the sidelines.
In contrast to Italy, England and Spain are still in the stage of medical tests returning their players. Germany has decided that, the Bundesliga will start kick off starting Saturday, May 16, 2020. Football is a popular sport all over the world, no wonder this sport is very much awaited and enjoyed by its fans. Hopefully with the passing of soccer competition, can make people happy and increase body immunity and can fight covid-19.
