Real Sociedad abandon training plans as Spain's coronavirus crisis continues

Real Sociedad have abandoned plans to return to training on Tuesday amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Sociedad were set to become the first La Liga team to resume training, albeit individually at the club's facilities, after signalling their intent on Saturday.

La Liga was suspended last month due to Covid-19 , which has killed over 114,000 people globally and more than 17,200 in Spain – where strict travel and social-distancing measures have been enforced.
