Real Madrid announces coach Zidane is infected with Corona virus

Madrid: Today, the Spanish club Real Madrid announced that its French coach Zinedine Zidane was infected with the corona virus.

In a brief statement, the Royal Club said that "Real Madrid announces that our coach Zinedine Zidane showed a positive outcome to the examination of CofID-19, without giving further details.

Zidane's injury comes on the eve of his team's match with Deportivo Alavés, as Real Madrid seek to make up for the disappointment of being knocked out of the King's Cup by a third - tier team this week.

The title holder enters the twentieth stage of the League Championship against a team that dropped him at Darreh 2-1 in late November, seven points behind his leading neighbour Atlético, who also had a lower match than Zidane, whose French assistant, David Pitone, will also replace him.

Although he will be absent from the team due to quarantine, which will also keep him away from the next stage meeting at the very least against Levante, Zidane realizes that a second loss this season to Alaves, who is in 17th place by just a point from the relegation zone, will complicate his situation considerably and will greatly undermine Real's hopes of retaining the title.
