(Reuters) - Players and coaches in Spain's LaLiga should not have had to raise concerns themselves about playing league matches following the deadly floods in eastern Spain, Villarreal forward Ayoze Perez said.

Floods last month led to the deaths of more than 200 people, with the Spanish FA postponing seven midweek Cup ties and all games scheduled for Valencia's eastern region.
