Liga MX has been forced to postpone Thursday's season opener between Atletico San Luis and FC Juarez because of a spate of positive coronavirus tests.
The game is expected to be played on Monday, depending on further test results at FC Juarez, where there have been seven positive cases.
"We have seven positives out of 20 players from the group who were going to travel for the game. We'll see if any of those are ready for Monday to complete the team," Juarez president Guillermo Cantu told ESPN.
"The team is eager to play. We will use all the players we can. We hope that the second round of testing on players that had a positive won't get confirmed and come back negative."
