A Madrid court has said that it will decide next week if the upcoming round of Spanish league games will be postponed or held as scheduled on April 2 and 3.
The league announced earlier this week it was postponing the round after negotiations with the government over revoking a law that mandates one game a week be shown on free-to-air television failed to progress.
But a group of six clubs that are against the strike broke ranks with the other topflight teams, a majority that includes Real Madrid and Barcelona, and asked a court to oblige the league to honor the scheduled games.
The court said Friday it would hear both sides on Tuesday before ruling.
