Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is isolating after a close contact of his tested positive for COVID-19, a Spanish newspaper reported on Thursday.
Real Madrid did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report.
The report had it that Zidane learned of the contact testing positive on Thursday morning.
Reuters/NAN reports that he subsequently did not attend Real Madrid’s training session ahead of Saturday’s La Liga game away to Osasuna.
The report added that the Frenchman had undergone a COVID-19 test and was awaiting the result, although La Liga must approve his return to work.
Its protocols dictate that a person should isolate for three days and then get a negative test before returning to training or take part in a match.
