Abelardo: We want to keep playing but health is the most important thing

On Monday, Espanyol will return to training as they wait for the coronavirus test results. They want to keep fighting for survival but coach Abelardo said while the team "wants to keep playing" the most important thing "is health" and his main "worry" is the coronavirus pandemic.

"The main thing is that the players believe in themselves, when I got here I told the players if they worked hard they could be successful," Abelardo told Chinese media Hupu, of the bid to avoid relegation.

On Wu Lei, the Chinese striker, he said: "He needs to improve his way of controlling the ball and fit in better with the rest of the players in the team. He should learn to communicate, language is important. The team is happy with him, he's a good person and very positive."
