Therefore, the players will continue to do their work at home," the club said in a statement.

"Finally, we want to thank the constructive and cordial spirit in which the conversations with the Higher Sports Council have taken place at all times. We reiterate our maximum disposition so that we all work and manage to overcome these complicated moments as soon as possible and we can return to normality," it added.
