Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, is optimistic about Covid-19.
According to Diario AS, the club broke the news today.
Ancelotti had been experiencing symptoms that were consistent with covid-19, so he was tested. He'll sequester himself at home.
The revelation is a setback for Madrid at a critical juncture in the season. This weekend, Los Blancos will visit Celta Vigo.
They're nine points ahead of Sevilla in La Liga's second division, and they intend to keep it that way. They also have a quarter-final match against Chelsea in the Champions League on the horizon.
After a 4-0 setback to Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu before the international break, Madrid is eager to get back on track.
Carlo's son, Davide Ancelotti, will lead the team this weekend while his father is away. Celta are twelfth in La Liga, but they have a habit of annihilating giants, particularly at Balaidos.
Madrid are concerned about the condition of Ferland Mendy and Karim Benzema, who are both important players for Ancelotti's side but were injured during Madrid's 3-0 win over Mallorca earlier this month.
