Zinedine Zidane tests positive for COVID-19

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has tested positive for COVID-19 as per an official statement by the club.

The news broke earlier today, just two days after Zidane’s team were knocked out of the Copa Del Rey by Alcoyano.

The Frenchman will now enter a period of self-isolation in accordance with the current COVID guidelines in Spain.

The news comes as pressure mounts on Zidane with his Real Madrid side currently sitting second in the La Liga table and struggling for form over the last few weeks.

The shock defeat at the hands of Alcoyano in the cup was a prime example of their recent poor displays.
