LaLiga have confirmed five players have tested positive for the new coronavirus, although all are asymptomatic.

La Liga and Segunda Division players have been undergoing tests ahead of a potential resumption to the 2019-20 season, which was halted in March due to the health pandemic.

In an official statement, the league announced: "Between the LaLiga Santander and LaLiga SmartBank, five players have tested positive, all of them are asymptomatic and in the latter stages of the illness, whose specific identity LaLiga does not know in compliance with the organic law on data protection."

In keeping with data protection laws in Spain, the identities of two of the players are being kept anonymous, while Real Betis have announced that Joel Robles, Alfonso Pedraza and Juanmi Jimenez have been infected.

The players in question will be tested again in the next few days and can only return to training after two negative results.

Barcelona were among the clubs to resume individual training this week in Spain, with talk that the campaign could restart in June.

Atletico Madrid returned to training on Saturday amid media reports Renan Lodi has tested positive for the virus.

The Brazilian left-back is asymptomatic, Marca reported, but there was no official word on his health from Atletico. However, the club did tweet: "Renan Lodi salutes you from home. See you soon on the pitch!".

Real Madrid, meanwhile, will welcome their players back to work at the club's facilities on Monday.
