Zinedine Zidane Positive Covid-19

MADRID - Real Madrid coach ZinedineZid is infected with Covid-19 based on the club's announcement on Friday (22/1) morning local time, as quoted by Football Espana . Thus, the French coach must carry out independent isolation so that it is certain to be absent to accompany Madrid against Alaves this weekend.

But the club did not provide details regarding Zidane's development such as whether he was asymptomatic or symptomatic. And the club says all players and staff undergo regular Covid-19 tests. Zidane will return with the team if the PCR Swab result is negative.

The bad news completes Los Blancos' slump this week. After being eliminated from the Spanish Super Cup, Madrid had just been eliminated by Alcoyano's small team from the Copa del Rey stage, Thursday (21/1).

Madrid lost 1-2 to Alcoyano, despite winning the number of players because the opponent played 10 players due to a red card. This defeat threatened Zidane's position as coach. However, the former star of the French national team did not care about his threatened position.

Zidane realizes his position is at stake after failing in the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup in less than a week. He will not run away from this situation and is ready to take responsibility. "I am responsible and whatever happens will happen," said Zidane as quoted by Ibtimes , Thursday (21/1).
