Players will have to adapt fast to empty stands: Raul Garcia

Athletic Club Bilbao return to action in LaLiga with a game at home to Atletico Madrid and once again it will be a special game for veteran Raul Garcia

MADRID: Athletic Club Bilbao return to action in LaLiga with a game at home to Atletico Madrid next Sunday and once again it will be a special game for veteran Raul Garcia, who spent several seasons with Atletico.

Speaking to the newspaper Deia, Garcia said that it would be difficult for teams to return to action behind closed doors after only a limited preparation following a 3-month break to the Spanish season due to the coronavirus.

Garcia said that preparation had been 'different, but we have to adapt'.

"We know what the situation is and we know it is important to finish the season (there are 11 games left to play)," he said, although he lamented the fact that competition would restart without any practice games to test players' fitness. IANS
