LaLiga passes the tests to the four teams that will play the Playoff

The LaLiga Executive Committee held its usual weekly work meeting on Monday, in which different topics related to First and Second were discussed. In it, the Fuenlabrada case was left on the sidelines, waiting for the Federation Competition Committee to decide this Tuesday or, at the latest, on Wednesday. What was clear is that the intention of LaLiga, once it has made its position clear by definitively suspending Deportivo-Fuenlabrada and confirming Elche as sixth, is that the semifinals for promotion be played from Thursday or Friday. Of course, provided that the resolution of the body dependent on the RFEF ratifies its proposal. For this reason, the employers continue with their plans regarding the calendar and the health protocol.

Given this forecast, the four clubs classified for the Playoff, Zaragoza, Girona, Almería and Elche, passed today and tomorrow the routine tests for the coronavirus will happen. Everyone must do it again 48 hours before playing the semi-finals of the promotion phase. Zaragoza and Girona underwent tests before training today. The others will know their results tomorrow. Deportivo, who initially also had to go through them in case they had to play the last postponed matchday, will no longer have to be placed in the hands of the doctors. The tests have been canceled, in a sign more than evidence that the Riazor meeting would in no case take place this week and it may never be played again, if the RFEF does not prevent it, due to the number of infected people that Fuenlabrada has.

Just tomorrow ends the three business days that Competition gave those affected by this suspension to formulate their allegations. Elche, after learning the latest statements from Fuenlabrada and LaLiga, decided to withdraw them on Sunday. Competition could decide even the same Wednesday. Hence the intention of LaLiga to give another day of margin to the first leg of the semifinals, which could be moved to Friday. LaLiga's intention is that the start of the qualifying rounds will not be delayed beyond this week. The return matches, according to Thebes plan, would be on August 2. The final, on August 5 and 8 or 9. There is a deadline to finish this category until August 16.

The third team that accompanies Cádiz and Huesca also conditions the draw for the Primera calendar that both LaLiga and RFEF want to celebrate as soon as possible in Las Rozas. No one wants to have to do it without knowing all the ascended.

The LaLiga Delegate Committee met on Monday, as usual (last week it was moved to Thursday due to the dispute on the last day of the regular league), and the Depor-Fuenlabrada match was not among the points discussed. This issue has already been in the hands of the RFEF and the employers are waiting for news. Javier Tebas, present at the telematic meeting, has begun his intervention remembering that it was done correctly and that now the case is in Competition. The president of LaLiga, at no time, has made his position available to the Executive Committee.
