Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has tested positive for Covid-19, the Liga giants have revealed.
Madrid have said in a statement on their official website: “Real Madrid CF announces that our coach Zinedine Zidane has tested positive for Covid-19.”
The Blancos boss has become the latest in a long line of senior figures at the Bernabeu to contract coronavirus.
Eden Hazard, Casemiro and Eder Militao have also had to quarantine at various intervals as clubs around the world seek to manage their way through a global pandemic.
It remains to be seen how much input Zidane will have on matters in Madrid over the coming days, as his squad prepare for a return to La Liga action.
Assistant coach Davide Bettoni will be taking care of first-team affairs for now, with it likely that he will be required to provide cover for the next two weeks.
Real could have done without any more distractions heading into a meeting with Alaves, with another wobble being hit.
