Nine Dundee United players will miss their Scottish Premiership match at Livingston after being deemed close contacts of Covid-positive staff members.
Three staff tested positive for coronavirus, forcing the entire coaching team, including manager Micky Mellon, to self-isolate.
And after discussions with the Scottish FA and Tayside health board, nine squad members must also now self-isolate for 14 days.
Academy coach Thomas Courts will take charge of the team for the Livingston match on Saturday.
"Nine members of our squad are now self-isolating as a precaution due to having close contact with medical staff at the HPC at St Andrews," sporting director Tony Asghar said.
Those in isolation will also be unavailable to face Rangers on 13 December.
Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has criticised interim president Carlos Tusquets after he said the club should have sold Lionel Messi in the summer.
Tusquets said selling the forward, 33, was "desirable" because of the money the Spanish giants could have made.
Messi is out of contract at the end of this season so can leave for free.
"I don't care what's said outside the club. However, comments from inside the club don't help us have the calmness we need to do our job," said Koeman.
"We can't control what's said outside, but from within it's a different story."
Napoli have renamed their stadium after late club legend Diego Maradona.
Former Argentina attacking midfielder and manager Maradona, who died aged 60 in November, led the Italian side to two Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990.
The Stadio San Paolo will now be known as the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, after the Napoli city council approved the resolution.
Napoli owner Aurelio de Laurentiis proposed renaming the stadium in an open letter after Maradona's death.
The mayor of Naples, Luigi de Magistris, also backed the idea.
Maradona spent seven years at Napoli after joining from Barcelona in 1984, also winning the 1987 Coppa Italia and 1989 Uefa Cup with the Italian club.
Fans gathered at the stadium to pay tribute to him after his death on 25 November and Napoli honoured him before their Europa League match against HNK Rijeka, each player wearing a shirt with 'Maradona 10' on the back.

The sporting director of Italian football club Juventus has been placed under investigation over an alleged attempt to "speed up" Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez's bid for citizenship.

They have called for four university officials involved in administering the test to be suspended for eight months.
Juventus have strongly backed their sporting director, Fabio Paratici.
China has planted its flag on the Moon, more than 50 years after the US first planted the Stars and Stripes there.
The pictures from China's National Space Administration show the five-starred Red Flag holding still on the windless lunar surface.
They were taken by a camera on the Chang'e-5 space probe before it left the Moon with rock samples on Thursday.
Two previous Chinese lunar missions had flags on the crafts' coatings - so neither could be affixed to the moon.

Sócrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira, MD (19 February 1954 – 4 December 2011), simply known as Sócrates, was a Brazilian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

The prospective takeover of Wigan Athletic has been blocked after the EFL said the new owners "failed to satisfy the league's requirements".
The Spanish consortium were given a second extension to complete their purchase of the ailing League One club last month.
The English Football League said they had "undertaken significant due diligence on the relevant parties".
Wigan were put into administration and relegated from the second tier in July.
The EFL added: "The board reiterated its commitment to working with the administrators to secure a successful and sustainable future for the club and will meet with them to discuss the implications of this decision at the earliest opportunity."
BBC Sport understands that the current bidders still have an exclusivity period that lasts for another seven days.
It is also understood there are other interested parties.

On the evening of May 18, 2019, Wilder defended his WBC heavyweight title against Dominic Breazeale via knockout in the first round.

Billy Joe Saunders beat fellow Briton Martin Murray by unanimous decision to successfully retain his WBO super-middleweight crown at Wembley Arena.
It was the 30th win of his undefeated professional career for Saunders, who entered the world title bout rated a heavy 1-25 favourite by bookmakers.
Saunders took the fight 120-109 120-109 118-110 on the judges' cards.
The 31-year-old is now eyeing the winner of Callum Smith's bout with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez on 19 December.
"I've been out over a year and it's like boxing in the cemetery," said Saunders.
I like to perform for the crowd and I tried to set a rhythm but he is a cunning old fox and he ties you up well.
"I probably needed the rounds going into the New Year and I hope he has a good Christmas and he goes back to his family. The main thing is I'm 30-0."
It was Murray's fifth unsuccessful shot at a world title and the 38-year-old conceded afterwards it may be his last fight.
Malice, spite, bitterness, childish, selfish ................ very much the tools of Leanne's trade.

Hubbard Foods Ltd is a New Zealand manufacturer of breakfast cereals based in Auckland. It sells cereals under its Hubbards brand and private labels. Its founder is D ick Hubbard, who stepped down as CEO from 2004-2007 to serve as the mayor of Auckland. According to The Sunday Star-Times, in July 2010 Hubbards was "the number three player, behind Sanitarium and Kellogg's, in the so-called 'ready-to-eat' cereal market" in New Zealand. It employs around 150 staff.
I'm sure it was Channel 5 who wanted Neighbours to be 52 weeks a year so does seem strange they want the gap maintained and increased.
Anyone who saying he should be sacked or saying the season is over needs to get a grip.
Anyone who says he is immune to criticism or that this isn't at least party his fault also needs to do the same.
