Javier Tebas is excited about LaLiga returning, but said it would only resume when cleared by health authorities amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Reports on Thursday said LaLiga would restart on June 12 with a derby clash between Real Betis and Sevilla.
While excited about a return, LaLiga president Tebas played down the speculation.
"The clubs, managers, players, referees … of @LaLiga, we are excited about the return," he wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
Los clubes, directivos, jugadores, árbitros...de @laliga, estamos ilusionados con el regreso, pero la competición sólo comenzará cuando las autoridades sanitarias lo consideren posible...el trabajo de coordinación con @deportegob ,@rfef es y será clave #VolverEsGanar #Laliga — Javier Tebas Medrano (@Tebasjavier) May 21, 2020

Barcelona held a two-point lead over Real Madrid when the season was suspended in March with 11 games left to play.
