Liga MX announced its calendar for this spring's Clausura on Wednesday, with the ball rolling once again on Friday, January 4, in a contest between Monarcas Morelia and Toluca.
Later that night, runner-up Cruz Azul will return to action, traveling to face Puebla just 19 days after the close of its Apertura campaign.
Cruz Azul will be much better rested for its chance at revenge on Club America with the final rematch between the clubs slated for Jornada 14, with Club America hosting a special Sunday night matchup between the two. They won't have to wait that long for the first meeting of the year between two 'grandes,' the league's traditional four biggest clubs.
