Nacho, positive for COVID

Nacho Fernández has tested positive for coronavirus, as reported by Real Madrid in an official statement published on its website. The defender has been isolated since last Tuesday, the day before the match against Alcoyano, because he had had direct contact with an infected person.

Finally, the last PCR test that the white soccer player has undergone has confirmed that he has also been infected, so he will have to comply with the protocols until he overcomes the coronavirus.

His absence joins that of Zidane, whose absence for the same reason was known last Friday (he did not travel to the game against Alavés or direct the training that day). The coach continues to recover at home, isolated but in contact with the staff electronically.

Despite these two positives, at Real Madrid they remain calm because they trust all the protocols that have worked so far. Players undergo daily tests, Therefore, in cases such as Zidane and Nacho, those affected do not have contact with the rest of the squad at the moment when the positive is known. Therefore, the rest of the players will continue to work normally and this Tuesday they will carry out the first training session of the week under Bettoni.
