I'm thinking about health before money', says Spanish player who skipped testing

REUTERS: The Spanish footballer who refused to undergo COVID-19 testing as part of the first phase of the sport's return to activity has defended his decision and promised to not receive a salary while he boycotts training and matches.

"I'm worried about the health of my daughters and my family. I was the first person to say that I will not earn a wage in this period and if even one Euro enters my account I'll give it back." Fali has been an outspoken critic of the plan to return to action in closed stadiums, which has the backing of the Spanish government and which organisers say is essential to guarantee the financial health of the sport.Fali is the first player to refuse to undergo testing although members of the playing and coaching staff of La Liga side Eibar expressed their concern about retuning to training earlier this week.

Cadiz president Manolo Vizcaino likened Fali's reluctance to return to action to being injured and said he would not be punished for his stance.
