Sergiño Dest tested positive for COVID-19, and almost all of the league's 20 teams reported cases, Spanish media revealed.
In addition to Dest, Philippe Coutinho, Ez Abde and 7 other players of Barcelona also tested positive for the virus, further complicating the picture and adding to the drama at Camp Nou.
This is because in addition to the casualties due to COVID-19, there are also casualties due to injuries that make Xavi's task of rescuing the club from the abyss in which it finds itself even more difficult.
According to social networks and the Catalan club's statement, the players are in good health, but they are isolated at home, so they cannot be taken into account for Barcelona's upcoming matches.
The USMNT international is the most recent case of the Blaugrana team, which has really struggled this season.
La Liga is suffering the onslaught of the virus and the Spanish media took on the task of finding out the extent of the problem.
And the outlook is not encouraging, almost all of the 20 teams in the tournament have registered cases.
This has led to health protocols being modified so that teams can protect their players.
For example, one of the new measures is that all clubs will have to undergo a daily antigen test, provided by La Liga, at the club's facilities.
With these precautions, La Liga seeks to reduce the number of contagions, since the containment mechanisms that were being implemented before could not stop the new wave of contagions.
They register 1 player with the virus, but it has been revealed that he does not belong to the first team.
Unai Simón, Iñigo Martínez, Jokin Ezkieta and Alex Berenguer tested positive before their matches against Betis and Real Madrid.

After the positives of Íñigo Pérez and Chimy Ávila, the club has practically closed its doors to try to stop the contagions.
The rebound can definitely affect the good performance of the team that is fourth in La Liga. The club has a total of 12 people infected, including managers, coaches and players.
Although it was confirmed that Asensio tested negative, in the squad the virus has affected Modric, Marcelo, Rodrygo, Bale and Lunin.
