The Polish Ekstraklasa league has been given the all-clear to resume with games behind closed doors at the end of May, but Ligue 1 have Montpellier player Junior Sambia in a coma with COVID-19.
The pandemic shut down football all over Europe just over a month ago, but has developed in different ways across various countries.
Many are now moving towards Phase 2, easing the lockdown measures, and that means the ability to resume training and play games.

The pandemic shut down football all over Europe just over a month ago, but has developed in different ways across various countries.
Many are now moving towards Phase 2, easing the lockdown measures, and that means the ability to resume training and play games.
The Polish Prime Minister announced in a press conference this morning that the Ekstraklasa league will be allowed to host matches behind closed doors from the end of May.
This is also roughly the timeframe adopted by Italy, Spain and Germany.
France, meanwhile, have been stunned by news that not only is Montpellier midfielder Junior Sambia the first Ligue 1 player to test positive for the coronavirus, but he is in an induced coma.
This was confirmed by agent Frederic Guerra to Le Parisien.
"He suffered three days of severe diarrhea, like gastroenteritis. Then, on Tuesday morning, he went to the hospital. I reached him when he was on an IV.
“He had just received the COVID-19 test result. This one was negative. He was due to leave on Wednesday, then his condition worsened with his lungs.
“It grew more complicated in transit. He went back to the same hospital, then he changed hospitals twice before being placed in an induced coma.”
Ligue 1 is considering a restart of its fixtures from June 17.
