'We want to play' – Munir backs June 12 La Liga return following coronavirus outbreak

Following league president Javier Tebas targeting next month for the competition's return, the Sevilla forward has offered his support

Sevilla forward Munir El Haddadi is in favour of La Liga resuming the 2019-20 season from June 12, convinced that this gives teams long enough to prepare.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused mass disruption to sport across Europe and Spain's top division has been no different, with a ball not being kicked since early March.

Although lockdown measures look set to be extended again in Madrid, in many other areas of the country they are being relaxed, with Saturday's Covid-19 death toll of 102 people being the lowest daily figure in two months.
