MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish soccer returns to action this weekend after the winter break amid a spike in COVID-19 cases amongst players and staff.

By Thursday more than 90 positive cases were confirmed by teams and many players will miss the next round of La Liga games and possibly next week’s Spanish Cup round of 32 matches.

They will miss Sunday’s clash at home to in-form Rayo Vallecano, who are fourth in standings, one point ahead of Atletico and in the Champions League qualifying zone. The Catalans had already been hit by a number of COVID cases including Ousmane Dembele, Samuel Umtiti, Gavi, Clement Lenglet, Dani Alves, Jordi Alba and Alejandro Balde.
