Zidane Tests Positive For Corona Virus
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has tested positive for coronavirus. The club revealed in a brief statement with limited or no information regarding Zidane’s symptoms or the playing squad’s test results. The Frenchman is facing his third crisis in his second spell with Real Madrid, and his players must once again fight for their coach on the pitch when they visit Alaves, following the shocking Cup defeat to tiny Alcoyano. The 2-1 extra-time defeat on Wednesday to the third division, semi-professional side followed a 2-1 loss to Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup and left last year's La Liga champions with one win in their last five games in all competitions. Real are second in the league standings, seven points behind Atletico Madrid, and play Alaves away on Saturday which Zidane will now miss.
