LONDON, April 27 — Balls and pitches will need to be sterilised frequently when Spanish football returns in order to minimise the chance of players getting infected by the novel coronavirus, a leading doctor in the sport has said.

Ramos also said medical staff were concerned about a rise in injuries when the season resumes as players have been forced to train at home due to the conditions of Spain’s strict lockdown.
