The league has told clubs that on Monday all players can start small group sessions regardless of the lockdown phase in their regions.
Teams in Madrid and Barcelona theoretically would not be allowed to start training in groups if the government hadnt created exceptions.
It's a good thing because it allows all teams to practice in a similar way, Spanish league president Javier Tebas told league broadcaster Movistar on Sunday.
