31-time Bulgarian champions CSKA Sofia resumed team training, violating a ban that is in place to contain the spread of coronavirus, local media reported.

A video showed manager Milos Kruscic, two assistants and six foreign players training at the club base on Tuesday.

Bulgaria declared a state of emergency until May 13 and imposed a ban on groups of more than two adults congregating together.

"If any (football clubs) train, then the regional health inspectorates should punish them," Prime Minister Boyko Borissov told reporters when asked to comment CSKA's violation. "They should be fined like all other people in Bulgaria."
