MADRID, May 14 (Reuters) - A potential strike by top Spanish footballers has been suspended after a petition filed by the league (LFP) against planned action by the players' union (AFE) was upheld, the High Court said on Thursday.
The strike threatened to disrupt the final two matchdays in La Liga because AFE was unhappy with a new law mandating collective bargaining for the sale of television rights.
That provoked a challenge by the LFP who argued the action was illegal.
However, it remains unclear whether the remaining two rounds of La Liga games will be played because the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF), who are also unhappy with the law, has said it will suspend competition indefinitely from Saturday.
